At the age of 79, Rosemary Smith became the oldest person to drive a Formula 1 race car. She is exceptional, but in recent years, she has become part of a growing trend. According to the U.N., the number of people over the age of 60 is expected to double by 2050. It marks a dramatic shift in population age. Dr. Sanjay Gupta explores aging and longevity from stunning Sardinia to a combined nursing home. We know more than ever about how we age, but we don't fully understand why, or how to age well, as lifespans continue to rise. And as research continues, sometimes in unconventional ways -- like with a group of nuns in Minnesota -- we are slowly starting to unlock the secrets of aging, and aging well.

This chaptered video shows how to make a hands-on shift to person-centered dementia care that engages the whole person and creates a support system based on each resident's needs and preferences.
From natural wake-ups to music therapy, the video looks at the benefits of involving residents in their care as much as possible, finding ways to help them to "continue" living life the way they prefer, and engaging them in personalized activities that boost self-esteem and interaction. It also empowers nursing assistants to act upon (and communicate to other team members) their first-hand knowledge of each resident to ensure a better understanding of their care needs.
Chapters:
- Person-Centered Dementia Care
- Natural Wake-ups
- iPod Music Program
- Person-Centered Care: The Bottom Line.
An excellent "going forward" resource to improve quality of care for both residents and staff.
