Susan Ryan and Alex Spanko discuss a pair of interviews with care professionals conducted at the recent Pioneer Network conference.
First up, Lauren Flores – director of life enrichment at Green House adopter Mt. San Antonio Gardens in Pomona, Calif. – discusses her path from Disney to eldercare, and why she thinks more people should consider a pathway into working with elders.
Then, CNA Jonas Weitzman – better known to people on long-term care Twitter as @BigWrinkles – traces his journey from a job at a tech startup to caregiving at nursing homes during the pandemic.
Far too often, discussions about the “workforce crisis” in long-term care do not include the voices of the caregivers themselves, and we hope this episode offers a valuable window into what the very best caregivers need and want to stay and thrive in the sector.
