Maine is the oldest state in the country where 21 percent of residents are over the age of 65. It is also the most rural state, which can make it difficult for older people to access services.
In this podcast Jess Maurer, executive director of the Maine Council on Aging, discusses the challenges older Mainers face from transportation to housing, and how the network is supporting diverse older Mainers.
The "Maine Ties" theme is "Blue Heron" by 317 Main.
