Aging in New York doesn't begin with a policy memo. It
begins when a parent falls. When a diagnosis lands on your kitchen
table. When the home health aide doesn't show up.
Suddenly, what felt like a distant worry becomes a full-time job
– and a full-blown crisis.
I've seen that crisis from every angle. As a lawyer. As a
policymaker. As the former Deputy Commissioner of the New York
State Department of Health, where I cochaired the state's
Master Plan for Aging. And most personally, as a son and a husband,
trying to hold things together when the systems meant to support us
fell short.
Here's the truth: aging isn't a personal failure. But it
often feels like one – because we've built systems that
treat it as a private burden instead of a shared
responsibility.
