Navigating the complex health care system poses challenges, especially for individuals with limited English proficiency. Advocacy work involves fighting for accessible health care and addressing the needs of Brooklyn's aging population. With a significant increase in seniors, particularly Baby Boomers opting for aging in place, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive government approach. The social isolation and mobility issues faced by seniors highlight the necessity of addressing these circumstances within families and communities to improve their well-being and healthcare access.
Navigating our complex health care system can be confusing even for those in the best of health. The anxiety can be particularly acute for those with limited English fluency.
I advocate for a holistic, all-of-government approach to address our fast-growing aging population and emphasize the need for tough conversations within families.
Baby Boomers placed their stamp on politics, pop culture, and a population surge that’s now boomeranging back, making New York one of the oldest states in the country.
Unlike previous generations, Baby Boomers are increasingly choosing to remain at home as they grow older, presenting challenges for those who are socially isolated or have mobility issues.
