EPISODE 50 – Behind the Scenes at Team Senior with Paula Johnson and Veronica Noble

Episode 50: Behind the Scenes at Team Senior with Paula Johnson and Veronica NobleMost people know Team Senior as a senior housing referral agency — but that's only a fraction of the story. In this episode, Jamie Callahan sits down with two team members who know both sides of the equation: Paula Johnson, a former adult foster home owner, and Veronica Noble, who spent years in senior living at Brookdale. Now working inside Team Senior, both women share what genuinely surprised them once they saw the full picture of what this organization does every single day.From five-minute phone calls that connect seniors with free tax resources, to complex legal situations involving dementia diagnoses that invalidated a home sale, to coordinating care for a hoarder's Chihuahua while its owner was in a skilled nursing facility — the range of what Team Senior handles is remarkable. Paula and Veronica bring warmth, humor, and hard-won personal experience to a conversation that makes clear why Southern Oregon families keep coming back to Team Senior no matter what the problem is.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why referrals are now only about 25% of what Team Senior actually doesHow a dementia diagnosis voided a home sale and saved a family from financial devastationThe creative ways Team Senior fills the gap for low-income seniors waiting on Medicaid servicesHow Paula recruited 25 caregivers in 24 hours to help an overwhelmed adult foster homeThe growing mission of New Age Oregon and why it could change lives across the entire stateWhy doctors, attorneys, and real estate agents are now actively partnering with Team SeniorWhether you're a senior, a family caregiver, or a professional in the care community, this episode will change how you think about what it means to truly support aging adults.
