The Aging Together Podcast explores the challenges and opportunities of caring for aging loved ones. In this podcast, I interview guests who are experts in their fields or can share their experiences with caregiving. Together with the guest speakers, I dive into a wide range of topics including health and wellness, care planning, caregiving, and more. The Aging Together Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube. This podcast is a product of Aging Together LLC, a private care coaching practice for family caregivers.

This podcast is hosted by Dr. Pooja A. Patel, an occupational therapist with board certification in gerontology and additional advanced certifications in dementia, fall prevention, and geriatric care. She has had the privilege of working with older adults and their families for many years and has seen first-hand the unique challenges that aging can bring. From navigating physical changes and managing chronic conditions to addressing social isolation and planning for the future, aging can be a complex and oftentimes an overwhelming process.

My name is Pooja, and I am an occupational therapist with board certification in gerontology and advanced certifications in dementia and fall prevention. I have had the privilege of working with older adults and their families for many years, and I have seen first-hand the unique challenges that aging can bring. From navigating physical changes and managing chronic conditions, to addressing social isolation and planning for the future, aging can be a complex and sometimes overwhelming process.

My passion for preventative care began after years of working within a reactive system. At Aging Together, I believe that with the right information and support, aging can be a fulfilling and enriching experience. Through this podcast, I will be sharing expert insights, practical tips, and inspiring stories to help you and your loved one age with grace and dignity.
