“What Did You Say!”  Time to Talk About Unthinking Ageism?

“What Did You Say!” Time to Talk About Unthinking Ageism?

We are caring people, yet we find it so hard to realise when our kindly meant words are actually Ageist. The answer has to be education. A steady subtle feed of fresh thinking, new realistic images of later years, new words and phrases for us all to use …and sink into our unconscious!

Restaurants Age Friendly? Or Unwittingly Ageist? You Judge!

Unthinking Ageism in Restaurants? Yes! Why havent they thought of these things? Because until you are old, it is very difficult to imagine what being old is like. They need to know. We need to tell them.
