HOME SWEET NURSING HOME
An A to Z Collection
of 50-word Stories on Aging and Healthcare
Today’s nursing homes are no longer “rest homes,” but rather vibrant places where residents, families and friends gather, interact, and share heartfelt memories and experiences. Through a 50-word-story collection of vivid tales, Doris Plaster, LCSW, recounts the realities of life in a nursing home from her Social Worker perspective, and that of the caregivers and residents in 26 short vignettes, that are both poignant and thought-provoking.

CXongrats Doris. I love your stories. You really have the gift of connecting with your readers.

That is quite cool! There ought to be a copy of it procured by every nursing home in America!
To think that Arlee Bird's "A To Z Blogfest" resulted in a published book for someone! There will be no living with the Boidman from now on.
[Be prepared to appear as a guest blogger on Boid's Blog real soon. I'm sure his invitation is winging its way to you as I type this.]
Congratulations, L.D.!

I am so glad to hear how things have changed in these retirement communities. I worked in one years ago before I was a nurse doing the really hard, dirty work. Congrats on your book. Blessings.
