After a forty-year career in eldercare, Grace Sweatman has stories to tell!
From receptionist to CEO and nearly every role in between, Grace has a truly rare perspective on this growing service industry.
In this book, Grace shares some of those stories from her Joyful Journey and the lessons learned along the way. In the closing chapters, she draws a roadmap to achieving a much-needed culture change in long-term care. From the beginning of her career, Grace recognized deep flaws in the services extended to our elders at their time of greatest need, and this heartfelt concern drove her to seek meaningful solutions. With great passion, she has been unrelenting in her efforts to see them implemented.
Grace believes there is indeed a better way. She is trusting that this collection of memories will encourage others in their personal journey, whatever its destination.
