The Conversation: A Smarter Way to Care for Aging Parents | Nicole Farkas & Lori Wells, PACE North

Caring for aging loved ones can feel overwhelming…especially when you don't know what help exists. On this episode of The Conversation, Christal Frost sits down with Nicole Farkas and Lori Wells from PACE North to break down what PACE is, how it works, and why so many families don't learn about it until they're already in crisis. The discussion explores how PACE's wraparound model supports older adults in staying at home, the challenges families face navigating senior services, and the misconceptions that keep people from seeking help sooner. With real-world examples and statewide insight, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and practical next steps for anyone supporting an aging parent or loved one.
