AGEING AND HEALTH
AGEING LINES: STORIES FROM CAREGIVERS AND ELDERLY PATIENTS This is a space dedicated to caregivers and elderly patients, created with anonymous collaborations from the WONCA Special Interest Group on Ageing and Health. This section includes inspiring anecdotes for the simple purpose of adding value and quality to older patient’s lives.
"I have a 97-year-old patient who tells me that one of the joys of his life is to watch the sunset light up trees outside his bedroom window. We often underestimate how much pleasure nature can bring our older patients. Perhaps we should encourage them or their family members to get outside, or place them so they can look through the window, or if that is not possible, to have a pot plant or some flowers nearby to give them some pleasure."
