Escape Into Family Eldercare

Description

Join us as we escape into Family Eldercare!

We're excited to welcome Dr. Aaron Alarcon, Chief Executive Officer at Family Eldercare, to the conversation!
 
In this episode, we dive into the power of community and why collective care matters more than ever. We discuss how investing in the people around us builds connection, trust, and a sense of belonging that gives back when it matters most.

Family Eldercare is a non-profit serving Central Texas that helps older adults and adults with disabilities live independently by providing housing, supportive services like meal prep, transportation, and case management, financial advocacy, and programs promoting mental and physical wellness. Their mission is to promote dignity, stability, and prevent abuse and neglect, connecting people to vital community resources so they can age with independence and quality of life.

Offering Supportive Services – From in-home care and peer groups to financial counseling, helping clients stay healthy, connected, and financially secure.
