Listen, Learn, Explore Episode 7: Living in A Dementia Unit - A View From the Inside


Listen Later

Like so many of us, Jim Vanden Bosch, a filmmaker and the founder and executive director of Terra Nova Films, a not-for-profit company specializing in films and videos on a wide variety of aging related issues, was curious about what it must be like to live in a "dementia unit" in a nursing home. Unlike most of us, Jim decided he needed to know - first hand, and so with the support of his family and a local nursing home administrator, he moved in and lived there for 4 days. 

This episode of Listen, Learn, Explore provides the opportunity to listen to Jim's story and learn what he experienced. 

After listening to the podcast, join us for the virtual learning circle on Thursday, May 27 at 1PM EDT, where you can explore further with Jim the value of this experience and together, identify lessons learned.  Click here for more information and to save your seat in the virtual circle. Jim's special guest at the learning circle will be Leslie Pedtke, author of What Living as a Resident Can Teach Long-Term Care Staff.
