In her book, OLD AGE IN A NEW AGE (Vanderbilt University Press, 2007), journalist Beth Baker tells the story of a new generation of visionary advocates and practitioners who are transforming both the culture of nursing homes and the way we view aging. She takes readers on a journey into some of the best places in America for elders to live. In these remarkable places, residents have a say in their everyday lives, enjoy an environment that looks and feels like an ordinary home, live with dignity and purpose, and find comfort in close relationships with caregivers.

She will share surprising lessons she learned from this emerging culture change movement -- and what this movement shares with Ethical Culture.

Beth will sign Old Age in a New Age after the platform.  The book is $24.95, payable by cash or check.
