About this episode

Emily McAndrews discusses how home and vehicle modifications can enhance safety and independence for older adults.

Emily McAndrews from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield joins us for a conversation about home and vehicle modifications and how thoughtful changes can help older adults stay safer, more independent, and more comfortable. We talk about the parts of daily life that can become harder over time, from moving through the house to getting in and out of the car, and why planning ahead can bring relief before a crisis happens. We also reflect on legacy and share ways families can spot scams during vulnerable seasons.
