Young Adult's View of Memory Care Environment

Jackie describes her perceptions of the memory care section of Emeritus at Deep Run. This video was taken as part of ALFA's Fifty Years in Five Days.

Jackie Kerin, a 22-year old employee of ALFA, is spending a week at the Emeritus at Deep Run community. She will fast forward fifty years and live the life of a senior living resident for five days. Shadowing staff and residents along the way, she will learn first-hand what it is like to live as a senior living resident.

Follow her blog at http://www.alfa.org/50in5 to see videos of her experiences and read what she has learned each day. She will also be tweeting as DCJacqueline via #50in5. Tweet any questions you would like her to ask residents or topics you would like her to explore further via #50in5, or join the conversation on her blog.
