| Annotation | Commentary written by a 74-year-old disabled nursing home resident and receiving total care. The author lives in Braintree, Massachusetts, a suburban town near Boston which he describes as a welcoming, age-friendly community, despite having elements of ageism. The author argues that despite stereotypes about nursing home residents, they are a diverse population and many (including himself) have active, social lives in the community. (JL). |
