Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Doug speaks with Dawn Holdgate and Arlene O’Reilly about Article 11 and its impact on the future of Our Island Home and long-term care on Nantucket. They discuss concerns about the aging facility, risks of inaction including residents needing off-island care, and the challenges families face with travel and separation. The conversation also highlights the benefits of keeping care local, the island’s growing aging population, and what voters should consider when weighing these needs against potential tax impacts. Listeners are encouraged to stay informed and consider all perspectives ahead of the town meeting on Monday, May 4th at 4:30pm at the Mary P. Walker Auditorium.
