In this deeply personal and emotionally charged episode of Aging in America, host Tam Lawrence sits down with A-list comedian Brian Lee Turner (BLT)—a world-renowned performer whose quick wit and powerful storytelling meet their most important stage yet: the fight to protect his grandmother.
BLT shares the raw and unfiltered journey of trying to relocate his "Granny" to a safe senior living facility—only to uncover a dark, tangled navigation system riddled with abuse, neglect, and systemic indifference. With heartbreaking clarity, he opens up about:
The lies and false promises hidden in glossy brochures
The emotional toll of watching loved ones suffer silently
The courage it takes to walk away from institutions that fail our elders
This episode isn't just a story—it’s a wake-up call for families, advocates, and decision-makers alike. It challenges the illusion of "senior care" in America and demands that we create safer, more transparent, and more humane pathways for aging.
✨ Expect laughter, tears, truth—and a new level of awareness.
If you’ve ever cared for an aging loved one, or fear what the future holds for your own family, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
