Judy Miller’s Not Ready for the Farm: Where Should You Live as You Age?

Posted by Staff | Sep 5, 2026 | Not Ready For The Farm, Town Square

Where should you live as you age? In this episode, Judy and Jess explore three very different senior living options — from the massive, high-energy world of The Villages in Florida, to the upscale, medically supported lifestyle at The Cedars, to the social, flexible 55+ rental community at Overture.

You’ll meet residents (including a 100-year-old Cedars member), hear honest stories about affordability, lifestyle, health needs, and community, and get an inside look at how people choose where to live as their lives and bodies change. With humor, heart, and real on-the-ground conversations, this episode helps you imagine what aging well might look like for you or someone you love.

Not Ready for the Farm is proudly presented by: The 79°West Innovation Hub, Clarity Legal Group, West Fork Wealth Management, Health Source Chiropractic, Purple Puddle, and HOPE Renovations.

Judy Miller’s Not Ready for the Farm: When is it Time to Intervene? Managing a Move and Caregiving

Posted by Staff | Aug 30, 2026 | Not Ready For The Farm, Town Square

When is “I’m fine” no longer fine for an aging parent or loved one? Judy and Jess sit down with aging life care manager Jennifer Szakaly to talk frankly about when to step in, when to move, and what it really costs- emotionally and financially. They dig into caregiving crossroads, aging in place vs. assisted living, solo agers, Medicaid realities, family conflict, and downsizing a lifetime of “stuff.” If you’re caring for parents, aging solo, or finally asking “What’s my plan?,” this episode will nudge you out of denial and into action.
