Ep 18 - Beyond Placement: A Holistic Approach to Aging Support with James Narducci

Heart2Heart Senior Radio

In this enlightening episode of Heart2Heart Senior Radio, host Juan Gallo sits down with James Narducci, a trusted guide and co-leader of the Senior Care Authority franchise in South Florida. With a strong business background and a heartfelt mission inspired by his wife’s work in the senior care industry, James has turned a personal journey into a professional calling—helping families navigate one of life’s most stressful transitions with compassion and clarity.

James shares how Senior Care Authority goes beyond basic placement services, acting as a comprehensive resource hub for families facing aging-related decisions. From elder law referrals and financial planning to long-term care consulting and lifestyle guidance, James and his team calm fears, offer tailored solutions, and ensure no family faces aging alone.

A highlight of this episode is the Driving With Dignity program, a thoughtful, non-confrontational approach to helping seniors assess when it might be time to hang up the car keys—preserving dignity and safety at once. James also breaks down why so many families are caught off guard by the realities of senior care, and how early education and planning can empower both aging parents and their adult children.

🔎 Key Topics Covered:

• Why many families panic when crisis hits—and how to avoid it
• The importance of starting the conversation early, even in your 50s
• How Senior Care Authority helps without charging families directly
