This week Sim and Shiv decide to have a discussion around nursing homes. Sim comes across a number of articles reporting on nursing homes that cater to different cultures, something that will become more important as our population continues to diversify, and as that diverse population gets older. They talk about their attitudes towards their own care as they get older and how this may (or may not) differ from their parents' (and/or their culture's) attitudes towards the care of older adults. Shiv discusses her (possibly morbid) thoughts on her own end-of-life care and the life experiences that shaped these beliefs. Sim acknowledges that these types of conversations bring about a lot of anxiety, but hopefully talking things through will help lessen it over time. Hey, that's why this podcast was started in the first place! Feel free to write in to us at [email protected] or message us on Instagram (@doesthismakemelookold) to let us know your thoughts on nursing homes, end-of-life care, or how your culture views taking care of older adults. We'd love to hear from you!
