Aug 17, 2021

Episode Description

After being thrust into a caregiving role for her elderly grandmother after college, Bianca Padilla was shocked to discover how little support there was for family caregivers -- especially since relatives with no medical experience make up 90% of all senior care. She and her now-husband, Jonathan Magolnick, conceptualized Carewell on their first date with the vision of it being a one-stop shop for products and services that allow customers and caregivers to age in place safely and comfortably. Tune in to this episode of Raise the Line hosted by Shiv Gaglani to learn about the model behind Carewell's success and hear Padilla's response to caregiving initiatives promoted by the Biden administration. Plus, discover COVID's silver lining for family caregivers and hear why Padilla believes that as we enter the “age of the silver tsunami,” paying attention to the caregiver is as essential as paying attention to the care recipient.
