Dr. Bill Thomas: Making a Better Nursing Home

Dr. Bill Thomas is doing some good work. Check this article about him from the Washington Post: We’re Lucky if We Get to be Old.

He believes that his generation, which reinvented what it means to be young, should now be reinventing what it means to grow old. “We need to get people out of hospitals, we need to create a rich set of community-based alternatives.” In essence, he argues, the goal is “normalizing the entire lifespan instead of separating and stigmatizing one part as something different.”
