Caring for ageing parents: What you need to know with Esther Perriam

It’s a topic no one ever wants to think about, but people are being urged to plan early for their parent’s care as they got older. New Zealand’s population is continuing to grow - Stats NZ estimated in 2022 that the number of people 65 years or older would hit 1 million by 2028, which would equate to 1 in 5 New Zealanders. With more of us getting older and living for longer, it also means more families working out how to care for their loved ones. This week, Francesca and Louise are joined by Esther Perriam, director of the Eldernet Group, to find out all the information you need for caring for loved ones as they get older. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
