Board and Care Homes - What are They?

8/27/2024

I have an interesting topic this morning. I'd like to talk to you about Board and Care Facilities.
What are those? Well, I actually don't like the name, to be honest with you. They are also known as group homes, residential care homes, etcetera. In the state of California, you're going to find thousands of board and care facilities. Unless I'm wrong, and if someone listening to this can prove me wrong, I don't believe many states have a similar set up, and obviously the number that we find in California, of Board and Care.

Richard Wexler
Good morning, my name is Richard Wexler, and this is Caring in America, the podcast for Caregivers and care recipients. Folks, we have a mystery guest who's about to come on in a minute or so, and I think the tide is gonna be turned on this episode with me being asked questions instead of asking my guest questions. So I just have to say I'm hope I'm ready for the tough questions and able to answer them, and hope the answers that I give help are listening audience. So with that, is our mystery guest there and could you introduce yourself please.

So folks, on this morning's episode, it’s just going to be me. I want to talk to you guys a little bit and really encourage you to listen to this episode and pass it on to friends and relatives.

Somebody asked me a couple days ago, “Why am I doing this podcast?” I thought about it and I've been working in this environment now for 17-18 years, started almost 20 years ago when all four of our parents got ill, and our life changed. We were, you know, probably that average family. Both of us working, and I had a long commute to work. My wife worked out of our house at that point. We had two kids, our son 11, our daughter, seven. They were involved in a lot of activities, sports, dance, plus all the homework- everything that kids of that age normally get involved with.
