Summary
In EP13, I shared my experiences as a weekly volunteer visiting independent assisted living homes, focusing on the importance of social connections for residents. I shared 3 stories: Resident or not - Peter, Too young to be there - Michelle, Goodbye - Owen. This short field trip episode will give you an unseen side of independent living homes and the personal story of the impact of dementia.
