Summary
In this eye-opening episode of Get Ready for Better Aging, host Jacqui Clark welcomes Christine Lee, a Certified Senior Advisor and the CEO of Casa Companion Home Care and Transport Solutions. Together, they unpack a critical—but often ignored—pillar of aging well: transportation. Christine shares her inspiring journey from founding a culturally rooted home care company to launching a transport service that empowers seniors, veterans, and adults with disabilities to stay mobile and independent. You’ll learn why lack of transportation is a major reason older adults enter assisted living before they’re ready—and how the right support can change everything. From hospital discharges to life events like weddings, Christine and Jacqui explore the emotional and logistical impact of getting where you need to go, with dignity. Whether you're aging in place or supporting someone who is, this episode delivers powerful insights to help you plan ahead—before a ride becomes a crisis.
