• By going to the nursing home I was allowed to see how different the seniors are compared to the seniors at the senior center. Most of the seniors at the nursing home are sad or very sick. My favorite seniors were the ones who where happy even though they were sick, when I would talk to them most of them had families who came to visit them often or they had a happy life before they were at the nursing home. This made me really think more about my answers and how family does have a huge impact to the other seniors. I also got the idea of the bucket-list from this experience.

Interview 4 Reflection

1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview?  

• The most important thing I learned from this interview was mainly on how to work with the seniors who are more grumpy or have a hard time understanding they are being old. Sarah really just said to be patient and to not let it affect your work, which I found very helpful because at the center the seniors who are a bit harsh to me I tend to treat them differently. than the seniors who are nice to me. 

2.  How will what I learned affect my final lesson?

• It won't really affect my final lesson since the answers I got a sort of already knew. However it did get me a sort of back up and reassurance that what I'm reading online is what someone who works with seniors actually does or says about seniors. 

( I interviewed a nurse at a nursing home, it was hard to get a doctor again)
