How do you see the field of senior advocacy evolving over the next few years? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a shift towards more inclusive, equitable care for seniors. This will require advocates to be well-versed in various aspects of senior care, from healthcare to social services, and to be able to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
