In this episode, we tell you a bit about our journey in senior care and update you on the new direction we're taking with the restructuring of our show. We dive into the real issues affecting our industry, today's seniors, and the incredible people who care for them, of course, BUT... We also have a good time bringing humor and yes a few cuss words. This show is not only for people in our industry, but also for people experiencing and navigating the world of senior care for their loved ones.

We introduce ourselves to you, if you're new,  and re-introduce ourselves to you if you'd been with us on our first outing as podcast hosts on Home Care Hot Seat with Kelly and Nicole!
