Negotiation with Alice
55: How do we convince families to move from reactive plans to proactive plans when it comes to our aging parents?
Pooja A. Patel, DrOT, OTR/L, BCG, CDP, CFPS, CGCP has 7+ years of experience working with older adults in a variety of practice settings as an occupational therapist with specialty certifications in dementia, fall prevention, and geriatric care.
After almost six years working inpatient, Dr. Patel left full-time inpatient care to split her time across settings. While she continues to practice inpatient on a per diem basis, she now dabbles in academia as an Adjunct Assistant Professor and guest lecturer, in leadership through various volunteer board positions, and in private practice through her own consulting firm.
She also hosts a podcast titled Aging Together which educates the public about various topics related to aging in the USA. She does this work because the elders in our society deserve better and the family caregivers shouldn't have to do it all alone.
