“Words of Wisdom” by Dr. Marion Somers, Award-Winning Nationally Recognized  Geriatric Care Manager

During the past three decades, Marion Somers, Ph.D., (Doctor Marion) has provided care for more than 2,000 elderly clients while she owned and operated a thriving Geriatric Care Management practice. It is now Dr. Marion's goal to help caregivers everywhere by providing valuable insights and information. 

Doctor Marion is regarded by the media as a leading expert on elder care issues, topics, and solutions. She has been featured on The Today Show, Eyewitness News, The Wall Street Journal, Newsday, and a host of national radio programs.  She recently completed a 50-city bus tour across the nation to talk about planning for long-term care. The bus tour was part of a national campaign called ‘3 in 4 need more’, which is based on a study that said that three out of four Americans need long-term health care but are not prepared for it.

Interim HealthCare was a national sponsor of the 3 in 4 campaign.  As part of the sponsorship, Dr. Marion recorded valuable tips for seniors while she was in ten different locations across the country.
