I have been meaning to write about my friend Patrick Roden for a while. Patrick is as dedicated as any of us to Aging in Place. He is a warm and gentle soul who leaves no doubt it is about dignity, choice and respect. His approach is different from mine (which is great) because his background is different than mine. Patrick is a nurse who has been in the trenches treating people- no doubt with empathy, dignity and respect.
Now comes my opportunity. If you only have time to follow one link, read this: Patrick writes thoughtfully and beautifully about a recently released study of sexual activity among older Americans. Trust me, Patrick’s take on the study is a way better read. It should probably be included in the study.
His whole site is great, so take your time and float through. It’s worth it!
