Where Does The Future Lie?

September 3, 2014 | Jude Meyers Thomas, ChangingAging Contributor

The past several years have led me farther and farther away from the pulse of activity relating to culture change in LTC. Although there is a part of me that misses being deeply involved, watching from the sidelines has given me a unique perspective on what is happening in the movement.
