Enshrining Eldercare as a Civil and Human Right

from Elevate Eldercare · host Penny Cook

Christopher Laxton recently retired after a 40-year career in eldercare, including the last 10 at the helm of AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. He joins "Elevate Eldercare" to discuss his personal definition of retirement, reframing aging in the United States, and creating a world where eldercare – and health care writ large – is a baseline human right for all people. In this wide-ranging and provocative interview with Penny Cook, Laxton calls for universal health care access for people of all ages, challenging us to imagine a landscape where eldercare support services are exclusively non-profit or government-operated – with the goal of rectifying decades of inequality and ageism.
