Order# RP110
18 minutes
resident interviews
$150 purchase; $75 rental
Younger residents with chronic conditions and permanent disabilities speak out about their lives in long-term care. Expectations, dreams, and life plans have disappeared.
Dealing with an environment developed for older individuals, they describe a daily quest for relevance and respect. For some it’s frustration and anger. For others with support of family and the facility, they create a life of substance in long-term care. Filmed at Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital.
