Discussion question:

2. Connie Davis lists several traits and skills required to care for the elderly. What else would you put on this list?

3. How would you want your grandmother, grandfather, or any elderly person whom you're close with to be treated by the health care system? (E.g., Would you want them to feel in control of their care? How could the health system help them with that?)

4. Have you seen or heard about any positive or negative experiences related to elderly care that you'd be willing to share?
