Host Tayla is joined by Cheryl Patnaude and Jeanne Gattegno from the Rhode Island Coalition for Elder Justice to discuss the important work they’re doing to ensure that vulnerable adults are valued and protected from abuse, neglect and exploitation. In the Last Chapter they discuss: what books are in their “to be read” pile?
