Our society is aging and many people are facing the challenges of caring for elderly parents. Some of us might be wondering what’s going to happen to us when we get old. Assuming the duties of long-term care for an infirm relative is often difficult to accept and comes at a high personal cost. What are the upsides and downsides of caring for a loved one? What does geriatric care look like in Poland? How can we cope with problems and our own emotions? Our guest, who abandoned a spectacular career path to care for his mom, will discuss all that and more.

Guest:

Marcel Andino Velez—journalist, former deputy director of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Andino Velez is currently facing new challenges while pioneering a service previously unknown in Poland: family geriatric care management.
