We’re kicking off There for Care with a powerful and timely conversation about something affecting millions of families across the country - America’s aging care crisis.

In this episode, host Amy Rein sits down with CareScout Services CEO Samir Shah to unpack the critical challenges facing today’s aging population, caregivers, and healthcare system. Together, they explore why the long-term care system is breaking down, how caregivers are being overwhelmed by the emotional, financial, and logistical pressures of care, and what can be done, by individuals, families, employers, and policymakers, to create a more sustainable and supportive care system.

You’ll learn why 70 million Americans over 65 will soon need more help than the current system can offer, how caregiving responsibilities are forcing people out of the workforce, and why the lack of planning and resources can tear families apart. Samir also shares his deeply personal story of navigating care for his own parents, offering a rare perspective from both the boardroom and the bedside.

Whether you're currently caring for an aging parent, helping a loved one plan for their future, working in eldercare or home healthcare, or simply trying to understand what lies ahead, this episode will give you the insight and tools you need to feel more prepared, supported, and empowered.
