Interview Release Form
Interviewing Assisted Living Residents
Nursing home residents may be too ill to interview whereas assisted living facilities and senior centers may welcome a class to conduct interviews. Seeking permission and advance planning are important. For a community memoir course that I taught in an assisted living facility, a gentleman shared stories about living through the dust bowl in Oklahoma that rivaled those in Grapes of Wrath. This project was extended to involve senior citizens and Lima high school students exchanging memoirs and reading the same novel.
