A Podcast Resource for Families & Future Residents
Navigating aging and caregiving can be emotional and overwhelming. That’s why Angela Vanderpool, Vice President of Operations for Dharma Healthcare—the management team behind Horton Plaza—created the Hey Mom, We Never Prepared for This podcast.
With over 17 years of experience supporting seniors and their families, Angela hosts the podcast as a compassionate, judgment-free space where future residents, adult children, and caregivers can feel seen and supported. Each episode features heartfelt conversations that explore the beauty and complexity of life’s later chapters—helping you embrace change with clarity, honesty, and heart.
