Whether it's called adult care home, adult foster home, adult family home, or residential care, the goal is all the same: to provide high-quality, holistic care to seniors and individuals living with disabilities in a truly homelike environment.
The Podcast is on a temporary hiatus. We plan to return in the fall of 2023.
Welcome to the Care Home Conversations Podcast, where together we have important conversations about adult care homes serving seniors and individuals living with disabilities. The Care Home Conversations podcast is about topics and issues that are important to adult care home providers, staff, residents, and the larger long-term care community. The conversations we have with guests are intended to inspire and inform the listeners, strengthen community, and raise awareness about the care home option as a viable and beneficial long-term care living option. Our podcast launched May of 2022 and brings our listeners inspiring stories and important conversations about adult care homes. Join co-hosts Matt Gannon and Alyssa Elting McGuire for the release of new episodes. Brought to you by Oregon Care Home Consulting & Training. The Care Home Conversations Podcast is available through Spotify, Google Podcasts, Audible, Spreaker, and iHeartRadio. Questions? Have an idea for a show?
