Long-Term care is one of those critical issues that is really hard to grapple with and talk about.

Welcome to the show.

My name is Roger Whitney.

And when I was in Atlanta in early December,

my friend who volunteers at a long-term care facility

and goes there every single week. I went with him to go meet his friends,
