  1. Insight - make yourself at home!

    The St. Raphael nursing home in Bad Fredeburg - left to fend for itself since June 2006... too old to be a retirement home.

    In Germany, investors are pampered more than the elderly.

  2. I explore the psychological necessity of routine and domestic labour for the elderly as a means of maintaining dignity and purpose through repetitive tasks that serve as vital frameworks that hold a person’s identity together.

  3. My elderly grandmother is having increasing difficulty forming words and speaking. I made her a communication device.

    It's 4 double-sided sheets, laminated, containing 8 groupings of Grandma's most common requests. When she is unable to talk, she can point to her directive in order to communicate her needs to her caregivers.

    Alternately, she can plan ahead using a whiteboard marker. 🌸
