In this episode, Mike sits down with Mordechai Wolhendler, CEO of Glatthealth Home Care Consulting Group. Drawing from his background as a former home care operator, Mordechai shares insider perspectives on the most pressing challenges facing the industry today—from the skyrocketing costs of staffing to the confusion surrounding industry terminology in legislative halls.

Whether you are a startup agency, a multi-state operator, or an advocate for better care, this conversation sheds light on the "long game" of advocacy, the inevitable rise of AI and robotics in care, and how to navigate a heavily regulated industry. On top of that, we are also gearing up for the gigantic Home Care Show in Miami this February, where industry experts from around the country gather to discuss rising trends, advocacy, incoming legislation, and develop their strategies for the new year.
