Together, they discuss what it truly means to age without reliable family support, debunk common myths surrounding solo agers, and explain why independence alone cannot replace a structured care plan.From creating advance healthcare directives and selecting younger decision-making proxies to leveraging professional fiduciaries, congregate living, and community resources like the PACE program, Dr. Geber offers practical strategies for navigating older adulthood with confidence and purpose.Click here to watch a video of this episode.
