“Living Colors” was inspired by one of my hospice patients who had Alzheimer’s disease and poor eyesight. More sight problems could be corrected if nursing home residents received vision care regularly. My patient needed assistance to eat, but there was a staff shortage that day. Staff shortages negatively impact patie...nts. Using her fingers, she started feeding herself. A hospice volunteer, I arrived to find her with food smeared around her mouth. After wondering what that experience might have been like for her, I wrote "Living Colors."
