The Caregiving Journey Inspires My Care Friends

In this episode, host Bob Roth reunites with former college roommate Todd Keitz after over 40 years. Keitz shares his personal experience becoming a full-time caregiver for his parents, inspiring him to create the online platform "My Care Friends." Launched in 2022, it connects caregivers with tailored support groups and education. Keitz discusses his vision to expand My Care Friends' reach through partnerships with healthcare influencers, training providers, advocacy groups, and driving legislative changes for better caregiver assistance. With over 50 million U.S. family caregivers and an aging population, Roth emphasizes they are the essential "army" we rely on. Both aim to elevate these unsung heroes through initiatives fostering connection, education and advocacy for caregivers. They urge greater awareness and simple acts of service to support the caregivers around us navigating this challenging role. #Caregiving#FamilyCaregiver#CaregiverSupport#CaregiverCommunity#MyCarefriendsApp#CaregiverAdvocacy
