Episode Synopsis

In this heartfelt conversation, I interview my mother-in-law, Mary, about a lifetime of serving and befriending residents in nursing homes—from childhood visits with the church Gray Ladies in Pleasant Garden, to small homes in Panama and St. Kitts, to activity leadership at The Village at Brookwood. Mary’s stories show how simple acts—singing, reading, touch, and unhurried presence—restore dignity and joy. She also offers gentle, concrete advice for introducing youth to nursing home service so they feel confident and residents feel truly seen.
