Global Ageing Interview – Verna M. Cavey

Our next Global Ageing interview as part of the Global Older People’s Care & Support Day 2024 is from the USA with senior care resident and advocator, Verna M. Cavey from Colorado.

The interview highlights the global challenges shared at GAN, with a focus on meaningful discussions and problem-solving. Key successes included fostering global connections and resource-sharing, as well as arranging a visit to a Scottish retirement community, which was highly valuable.

Barriers include technology frustrations for older adults, climate change impacts like extreme heat, and political challenges potentially affecting progress. Verna’s future plans involve exploring geropsychology and aging’s developmental stages, focusing on resilience, and adapting to new passions and challenges.
