community. In recent years I have had the privilege of working and volunteering at Pembina Place Personal Care Home. This experience has exposed me to individuals who are further declined than my grandparents, and who are involved in little to no outside community activities. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s were very common within the PCH I was working in. Interestingly, the residents of the care home did not shift my view of old age in a negative way.

marketisation represent in the field of care for older people.

It is unfair that these passionate artists are forced to jeopardize the way they feel about themselves and their creations out of fear of dismissal from their positions. Morality and Eldercare!
