    Even though Marjorie mentions that the actual hospital was a dull place, she says that “it was a good place to work and the feeling was cheerful (Meijer Drees, 2013, p.64)” and gives off the idea that while the building was dreary, the atmosphere was a happy one. Meanwhile Marie’s whole story gives off an entirely different impression, one of fear and panic. From other staff not commenting on abuse to being denied closed windows the short story is powerful given its uneasy aura (Meijer Drees, 2013). This difference is closely related to one that is less noticeable. Mainly it revolves around patients have bits of fun during their stays in the hospitals.…

    Also enjoyable was hearing the personal and warm stories about Silverton Hospital and the strong ties and commitment to serving the community. From putting your external departments and/or health care clinics in surrounding existing homes to please your neighbors and maintain the character of Silverton, to the sleep houses for your residents and the freedom of the deer meandering through the parking lot. Especially impressive was hearing about Dr. Olwyn Davies, who is 92 and is still actively practising medicine and serving several generations of his patients.…

    I began to realize, these people were not broken objects without meaning or purpose. They could not be defined by their bodies, ages, or aliments. They could only be defined by their lives, passions, and purposes. Through my experiences with the inspiring residents during my first fieldwork, I was able to learn that everyone has a story to share; however, to see this you have to look past their external appearances. Antoine de Saint Exupery once said, “One sees clearly only with the heart.…

Before I started at Adams Lane I thought that the aides, nurses, and everyone at a nursing home treated a resident nicely and with respect.…
