Throughout their conversation, Christie reflects on the experiences that shaped her commitment to older adults\u2014from childhood visits with \u201cadopted grandparents\u201d to her early work in hospice social work. Now leading Frasier, Christie describes a thriving community that offers a range of services where residents drive programming and engagement\u2014so much so that the community has an 800-person waitlist. She shares why curiosity, respect, and accountability are core to building vibrant elder communities. As board chair of LeadingAge, Christie also addresses the urgent workforce crisis in aging services and calls for greater collaboration across organizations and states to meet the needs of a rapidly aging population. As Ryan points out, this is a conversation about intentional community, collective responsibility, and the courage to reimage what aging can look like when we truly listen.
