My dear friend and colleague Patrick Roden, PhD. just put out his list of Aging in Place Influencers for 2016. I want to make an important addition at the top of the list. I nominate Dr. Patrick Roden. There is no more dedicated and passionate advocate.
Patrick’s eyes, ears and keen attention are always roving for new people and new ideas. He has a remarkably open 
mind. He knows a lot and expresses it well. He is a really pleasant fellow. It carries over to the energy he brings to his website, Aging in Place.com and tweets. I have been appreciating Patrick for years.
Why would I write more? Enjoy what Patrick gives us from his big heart.
Happy holidays. This season’s gift is Patrick.
Louis Tenenbaum, one of the nation's leading authorities on aging in place, is the founder of HomesRenewed, a coalition of business, consumers and nonprofits, driving policy and investment to increase the number of age-friendly homes.

Louis I was just thinking about you and suddenly I get a Twitter notice and it was you! Spooky…
Thanks for the kinds words!

I could not agree more. Patrick does not simply speak or advocate for “Aging in Place……I’ve watched him hold the hands of those who benefit from the passion he promotes…..and listen…….and smile……and connect…..
Patrick has proven to be both an excellent resource and a continuing source of inspiring and thought provoking ideas. His ideas influence is growing in ways yet to be discovered. It will be interesting to look back 20 years from today.
