Poem After Moving to Assisted Living
I Mourn the Things I Left Behind
Naomi Wingfield
I mourn the things I had to leave behind.
Who has the spool bed we bought for our first home?
the cedar chest my husband made?
I miss my friend, the birch tree in the garden, the birds and squirrels,
the old car in the driveway.
I miss the cooking pots, the slotted spoon.

Greenhouse Project – Dr. Bill Thomas
Dr. Bill Thomas has led the development of the Greenhouse Project – which is now celebrating its 10th anniversary – with more than 100 Greenhouse programs across the USA.
Greenhouse Project envisions “homes in every community where elders and others enjoy excellent quality of life and quality of care; where they, their families, and the staff engage in meaningful relationships built on equality, empowerment, and mutual respect; where people want to live and work; and where all are protected, sustained, and nurtured without regard to the ability to pay.”
Collaborating with other organizations and groups, Greenhouse aims to lead the transformation of institutional long-term care by creating viable homes based on the Greenhouse vision in community after community. The aim is to create a home for 10-12 elders with varying care needs — through architecture emphasizing community living (indoor and outdoor home look), person-centred care by staff supported in building relationships within the home, and respect for individuality of residents and their families.

BOOK NOTICE
Where River Turns to Sky
Gregg Kleiner; New York: Avon Books, 1996
George Castor responds to the dreary nursing home death of his best friend by selling his farm, buying a big old house in town, and ‘rescuing’ frail older people to share his home and give him life now that he has lost his dear wife. This shout-for-joy poetic novel opens our imaginations to possibilities for aging in community.
