With a background in nutrition and healthcare management, author Carol Tansey is uniquely qualified to document the state of longterm healthcare for Seniors in Montreal-and she does it as a current resident of one such facility. After suffering a series of strokes more than 6 years ago, she was written off as a hopeless case. In this memoir, she recounts both the frustrations and successes she has experienced in her slow recovery and in her attempts to reclaim a semi-independent and gluten-free life. She also presents her recommendations for ways to improve the quality of life for her fellow residents, applicable to any institution charged with the care of Seniors.
