Nursing Home Video Poem: “Living Colors” 2:56 mins.

“Living Colors” was inspired by one of my hospice patients who had Alzheimer’s disease and poor eyesight. More sight problems could be corrected if residents received vision care regularly. My patient needed assistance to eat, but there was a staff shortage that day. Staff shortages in nursing homes negatively impact many patients. Using her fingers, my patient started feeding herself. I arrived to find her with food smeared around her mouth. After wondering what that experience might have been like for her, I wrote "Living Colors."
