In this joyful, eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Jaclynn Faffer, President & CEO of Baker Senior Center Naples, one of only 111 accredited senior centers in the U.S. and the only one of its kind offering comprehensive care — from mental health to memory care to ukulele lessons — all under one roof.
Dr. Faffer shares how her journey from New Jersey youth leader to nationally recognized senior advocate began with a key to the city for the Beatles (!) and led to building a 30,000 sq ft haven of purpose and community in Southwest Florida.
From the science of music and memory to the myth of aging as decline, this episode is packed with wisdom, heart, and a few laugh-out-loud surprises (including why a 100-year-old vet had to be bleeped on the news).
