Olders, Our Ticket to Prosperity After the Pandemic

May 26, 2020 | Helen Hirsh Spence

Doesn’t anyone else notice that when […]

Let’s Improvise! Navigating dementia (and pandemics) with creativity, humanity and growth

May 18, 2020 | Mary Fridley and Susan Massad

How improvisation gives us a powerful tool for moving from “How things should be” to “What can we create given what exists?” – and the most humanizing shot at relating to the strangeness, the fluidity and the uncertainty of dementia (and pandemic life) in ways that promote intimacy and growth rather than frustration and humiliation.

Our Devastating Disregard for Eldercare Workers

Eldercare teams are wearing brave faces right now. They’re keeping their heads down and doing what needs to be done in the midst of this horrible crisis.

Defeating the Pandemic Means Confronting Ageism and Ableism

April 28, 2020 | Ashton Applewhite

Why is coronavirus spreading across the US? Not because a virulent virus jumped from an animal into a human. Not because of China, or selfish youngers and clueless olders. COVID is spreading because the virus is new and contagious and because we live under a system that picks profit over people at every turn. The […]

Nursing Homes Need Support, Not Blame

April 15, 2020 | Jill Vitale-Aussem, Guestblogger
