Veteran's Voices: Finding Independence and Support at Home
In this episode we listen in on a conversation with Lance Corporal Frank, a former Marine, who served in Vietnam and now participates in the Veterans Directed Care Program (VDC), which allows Veterans to continue to live in their homes for as long as possible through home and community-based services. Frank shares his personal story and the profound pleasure of remaining at home with his dear friend as his caregiver. #veteran #caregiving #marines #theageguidepodcast
