ALT A quote from Dr. Rachel. M. Werner, the executive director of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania says "We just don't value elders the way that other countries and other cultures do."
#NYTimes says people w/#retirementsavings are impoverished by #longtermcarecosts. We can enable people to maintain their #financialindependence, #physicalindependence, & dignity.

Do you get #UD? What does #UniversalDesign mean to you? Can you use it in your work? Are there barriers to applying it? Do other people get it?
