Our ongoing series on caregiving explores how conversations have an impact on the lives of senior citizens and their caregivers. One Detroit contributor Sarah Zientarski visited senior living community American House in Livonia to talk with staff and residents about relationships created through interaction and dialogue. They share how meaningful relationships can lift spirits, restore purpose and transform quality of life.
