Lin Bartel, Director of Resident Life at Judson At University Circle, talks about her passion for education and recent experience with The Eden Alternative, a philosophy of life-long inter-generational learning for Elders and Care Partners practiced in Cleveland, Ohio.

Lin talks about the value of stories, relationships and long term care as an opportunity to build companionship, and address continuous challenges with a balanced approach to giving and getting care in community.

Life-long learning is enriched by nurturing quality relationships that generate resilient communities capable of more easily adapting to change.
