Home Care Assistance of Denton County

A bonus episode before our season finale airs next week. On today's show, we discuss an issue that is occurring each and every day with our young and elderly generation. One issue, in particular, that was noticed during the protest against police brutality, we witnessed on live television the abuse that a few elderly individuals encountered while participating in the protest or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. My apologies at the end of my segment my 4 legged friend wanted to voice her opinion, and that's okay..all of our voices should be heard. This episode is not to promote violence, looting, or racism, but to encourage equality, love, and unity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hcadenton/message
