Today we'll talk about the state of elder care. Senior citizens are New Hampshire's fastest growing population but services for them are not keeping up with demand. State officials are struggling with that issue now and considering the implementation of a waiting list for some services. Joining us will be Arlene Kershaw, Easter Seals New Hampshire Director of Senior Services and Seniors Count task force member. We're also joined by Christine Bennett, Business and Development Manager for Compass Care, an adult day care program in Portsmouth.
