| Annotation | An active later life that enhances our quality of life is what we all hope for. But what can be offered to the someone who is so physically disabled that participating in any activity is impossible - what quality of life can be given then? In this article, the author describes her mother's life in a nursing home. She concludes that a combination of good management, training and support for staff can contribute to those being cared for feeling valued and loved, despite their inability to be active. (KJ/RH). |
