Carmen’s dad learned he had pancreatic cancer earlier this year. His reaction took her by surprise, and the family dealt with the possibility of his death in different ways. Then, an occupational therapist who works with the elderly talks to Juleyka about how to care for our aging loved ones.

Our expert this week is Mariella Zuñiga, an occupational therapist and consultant with expertise in Aging in Place, engagement in successful aging and innovation in longevity.
