Tags: aging elderly care nursing community

This heartfelt article recounts a humorous yet poignant moment at a long-term care resident council meeting, where a lighthearted suggestion about putting weed in breakfast muffins sparks laughter and deeper reflections on autonomy. Through the lens of an Ombudsman, it highlights the importance of listening not just to complaints, but to the joy, imagination, and desire for choice that still thrive in residents' lives.
