In this episode of ‘The Aging Well Podcast’, Dr. Jeff Armstrong is joined by Richard Wexler, co-founder and CEO of the newly launched nonprofit APlan2Age.org, a free resource hub for families navigating the complexities of aging and caregiving. With 14 years of firsthand experience caring for four aging parents, Richard brings both personal insight and practical tools for what he calls “a national wake-up call.” Together, Jeff and Richard discuss why most families are unprepared for aging—especially when it comes to care, housing, finances, and decision-making during health crises. They explore the emotional weight of caregiving, the rising pressure on the sandwich generation, and how APlan2Age’s free Care Plan, checklists, and conversation guides can help families prepare with clarity and compassion. Whether you’re caring for an aging loved one now or simply want to age well yourself, this episode will challenge, inform, and empower you to stop winging it—and start planning.
