Are you over the age of 50? Are you concerned about your own or a family members Long Term Care? Author, Advocate, Entrepreneur - Ben Rao is here to kick off Season 5! Ben Rao is an author, life-long entrepreneur, philanthropist and senior care advocate who lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Ben was raised in Louisville, Kentucky by his stepfather Tom and his mother Peela, who devoted 40 years in not-for-profit senior services. Ben experienced first-hand the emotional and financial struggle that families face when he was unexpectedly confronted with the reality of transitioning Tom into senior care. He was challenged by the lack of direction and resources available for a process that nearly all of us will eventually need to go through. That experience inspired Ben to use his personal and professional experience in the long-term care industry to help families transition their loved ones into senior care. Ben lives with his wife, Rhonda, and their two children, Maddy and Charlie, in a renovated historic building that was once the Lee's Summit Hospital and the Dayton Hotel in Downtown Lee's Summit. He developed Lee's Summit's first entrepreneurial incubator and office space in a formerly vacant post office. He works there alongside his trusty sidekick, Charlie dog, a border collie who has gone to the office with him every day for the last 10 years.
