On this episode of The Senior Zone, host Shawn Perry leads a senior-centered conversation about protection, planning, and dignity in later life.
In Segment One, Shawn is joined Edwin Walker for a timely discussion on the Older Americans Act, elder justice, nutrition, and why reauthorization matters to older adults, caregivers, and communities across the country.
In Segment Two, the conversation shifts to retirement confidence — including Social Security, Medicare, taxes, income planning, long-term care, and avoiding costly mistakes after a lifetime of work.
Plus, we celebrate the Birthdays of the Week, hear from Dear Grave Woman by Joelle Simone, and share the Later Life Lowdown with resources and announcements for older adults across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
Thank you for listening and until we meet again…keep your head high, your heart full, and always — be someone who makes someone else look forward to their tomorrow.
