Description
The Big Move: Life Between the Turning Points By Ruth Ray Karpen, Helen Q. Kivnick and Anne M. Wyatt-Brown As Anne M. Wyatt-Brown's life is transformed by her husband's ill health, she finds herself part of a vibrant community in an assisted living facility. This collection brings together distinguished gerontologists who reflect on the care-giving support and encouragement that enables residents to pursue their interests, such as exercise, scholarly pursuits, and singing. The book offers a bold new framework for thinking about aging, continuing care, and making the big move to a retirement community. It challenges stigmas of aging and values the psychological factors involved in accepting assistance. By sharing Anne's story and the experiences of others, this volume provides valuable insights into living with vitality in a new environment. Through its lively and thought-provoking accounts, The Big Move sheds light on the complexities of aging and care-giving, providing a fresh perspective on what it means to live life to the fullest.
