The Power of Stories in Long-Term Care


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Erin Hart and Peter Murphy Lewis, who share how they're transforming perceptions of long-term care through storytelling and authentic human connection.

Erin, who has spent 13 years in long-term care and now works with the Ohio Health Care Association, describes how growing up across the street from her grandmother shaped her lifelong dedication to caregiving. Her personal story and professional mission intersect in powerful ways—advocating for caregivers and restoring pride in their work.

Peter, whose childhood experiences with his grandparents' caregivers left a lasting impression, brings his background in media and storytelling to the eldercare space. His documentary series, "People Worth Caring About," captures genuine caregiver stories that highlight the dignity, skill, and heart within the profession.

In addition to discussing the power of storytelling to move hearts and reshape cultural narratives about aging and care, Erin and Peter highlight how authentic stories can do what data alone cannot—inspire empathy and drive change.
