Book Description
"The Nursing Home Book offers a series of vignettes derived from the encounters and experiences of those residents at Stoneybrook. Make no mistake -- the residents of a nursing home, those no longer able to care for themselves, continue to cling to the hopes and dreams of their youth. Those at Stoneybrook are no different. None of those residents, regardless of background or walk of life, ever intended on spending their last days at such an institution. But whether by accident or otherwise they are all her together -- in this place."--
