Center of Life

Nursing homes are probably the last home for a person, the last shelter, the last housing.
Hence these centers are easily confused with waiting rooms, with caves of sorrow, with
premises of sadness.
Many reports about nursing homes either focus on this aspect or show abuse or negligence cases towards the elderly.
Althought it may be less advertised, there is another reality that revolves around the life created in these nursing homes, the new friends and romances that arise, the cards or dominoes games, the conversations among the elderly, the hugs given or tears shed among mates, the stories that each one of them keeps in their memories, the desire to be and share.
It is a view of happiness, a snapshot of hope, the focusing of all the life generated in a nursing home for the elderly
