Colorado's Aging Crisis: What Nobody's Talking About

Colorado’s aging population is growing fast. This episode explores Colorado’s aging crisis, the state plan for aging, community care, caregiving, housing, and long-term care planning. In this episode of The Empowered Elder Podcast, we’re joined by Kristine Burrows, Senior Specialist on Aging for the State of Colorado, to unpack the Multi-Sector Plan on Aging and what it means for housing, caregiving, healthcare access, workforce longevity, and community connection. Kristine brings a public-health lens to aging, explaining how systemic decisions — from zoning and transportation to employment and healthcare bias — directly impact older adults and families navigating caregiving, estate planning, and long-term care. We explore: • Why Colorado’s aging shift impacts everyone • The role of housing and infrastructure in aging well • Ageism in healthcare and the workforce • Why older workers are essential to economic stability • How community-led solutions outperform top-down policy This conversation is especially relevant for caregivers, families, real estate professionals, estate planners, senior service providers, and anyone planning for aging — personally or professionally. 👇 Subscribe for more conversations on aging with dignity, clarity, and support.
