As the Director of Community Relations at Belmont Village Lincoln Park, Jessica Roote has a unique and valuable perspective on connecting seniors with the community and care resources they need. In today’s episode, Jessica gives us a window into her world linking seniors living at Belmont Village Lincoln Park with the larger community. This can be as simple as trimming greenery so that residents can see the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood when they’re sitting on their patio! In this info-packed episode, Jessica also shares some strategies for touring and selecting senior communities.
I had a great time chatting with Jessica—and by chance, we’re releasing this episode on her birthday week! Happy birthday, Jessica! What a great way to close out the year and kick off our short holiday break. Just Call Claudia will be back on January 5 with a new episode, the first in a two-part series. You won’t want to miss it! You can find this episode—and listen to the season thus far, perfect for holiday road trips—on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
