Our special episode on caregiving explores the therapeutic impact of storytelling on senior citizens and their caregivers. Research shows better health outcomes for the elderly who openly reflect on their life stories, as well as for listeners hearing those stories. One Detroit senior producer Bill Kubota spoke with experts and staff at senior living facilities about the benefits.

Watch "One Detroit" Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET and Sundays at 9:30 a.m. ET on Detroit PBS (Channel 56). Stream "One Detroit" on-demand on the PBS App, YouTube TV, Hulu, and more.
