Allee Willis Presents "Hey Jerrie"

The video presentation above reminds me when I was volunteering in a Long Term Care Facility here in Hawaii. A long term care facility offer assisted living, dementia care, or even sub acute care. Some offers personal care for all residents and focused care for residents with special needs.According to the National Center for Health and Statistics, almost 91 percent of the long term care residents are over age 65.

Although getting old is a part of our life cycle, we should not forget that seniors are people, not just lists of illness and disabilities. They have many needs like you. Many had rich and wonderful lives.

The video presented by Allee Willis is a great example, life goes on no matter how old a person is. She still kept her talent being an artist on her field despite of her age.

Some good points that I learned by watching this video are:

• the author of this video were able to compiled or gathered Jerrie's photos and videos together and make it lively.
• once an artist is always an artist forever

Keep on sharing this video!
