HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

AND SO, WHAT WE HAD WAS THIS

INCREDIBLE SHOTGUN MARRIAGE OF

THE POORHOUSE AND THE HOSPITAL

AND THAT'S WHAT

NURSING HOMES BECAME.

>> A NEW INDUSTRY WAS BORN.

THIS BUSINESS EXPLODED AFTER

THE MEDICAID ACT OF 1965.

>> Thomas: THE IDEA OF TAKING

CARE OF ELDERS ON A MASS SCALE

WAS SOMETHING NEW

IN HUMAN HISTORY, AND IT WAS

BOUND TO RUN INTO PROBLEMS.

EARLY ON, THERE WERE ACCUSATIONS

OF "WAREHOUSING" ELDERS,

OVERUSING PHYSICAL RESTRAINTS,

AND EVEN WHEN REFORMERS

CHALLENGED THAT PRACTICE AND

REDUCED IT, A NEW PROBLEM CAME

UP -- THE OVERUSE OF

ANTI-PSYCHOTIC DRUGS.

THESE DRUGS AREN'T DESIGNED

FOR USE WITH ELDERS, AND YET

THEY'RE BEING MASSIVELY

OVERUSED IN NURSING HOMES.

>> GIVE ME A KISS RIGHT HERE.

[ LAUGHS ] KISS ME.

THANK YOU.

>> Thomas: AMERICAN

NURSING HOMES ACTUALLY HAVE

SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE IN OUR

NATION, SOME OF THE BIGGEST

HEARTS, MOST GENEROUS SPIRIT,

THE GREATEST JOY AND LAUGHTER.

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE.

HOWEVER, THEY GO TO WORK

EVERY DAY INSIDE AN INSTITUTION

THAT DEFINES PEOPLE IN TERMS OF

THEIR DIAGNOSES AND

THEIR DISABILITIES

AND THINKS OF THEM AS PATIENTS

FIRST, HUMAN BEINGS SECOND.

>> Woman: HE DOESN'T REALLY

INITIATE CONVERSATION.

HE JUST KIND OF...EXISTS.

>> DOES HE ALREADY HAVE MUSIC IN

HIS ROOM?

DOES HE HAVE A RADIO?

>> I DON'T THINK HE HAS A RADIO

IN HIS ROOM, NO.

>> HE HAS DEMENTIA?

>> MM-HMM.

HE HAS DEMENTIA.

>> Mike: JOHNNY, CAN YOU TELL

US, WHO'S THIS GUY?

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> WHO'S THAT GUY?

IS THAT YOU, WHEN YOU WERE IN

THE NAVY?

>> IS THAT ME?

DO I LOOK LIKE THAT?

>> YEAH, THAT'S YOU.

>> THAT'S NOT TOO BAD!

>> Dan: A COUPLE OF YEARS AND

A LOT OF TOMMY DORSEY, BIG BAND?

ALL OF THIS STUFF, LET ME SORT

IT OUT.

FRANK SINATRA...

>> Mike: HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?

>> WE TRIED TO LEARN JOHN'S

STORY.

WHO'S THAT GUY?

>> IS THAT THE SAME GUY?

>> TO HELP US FIND HIS DEEPEST

MUSIC.

>> I GOT MORE MUSCLES.

>> BUT HOW DO YOU DO THIS FOR

SOMEONE LIKE JOHN?

ALL RIGHT, WHAT ABOUT THIS?

WE WERE TOLD A FEW THINGS.

HE PLAYED BASEBALL.

>> OH!

>> HE'D BEEN DRAFTED AND SERVED

AT LOS ALAMOS.

IT WAS THERE THAT THE ARMY

GAVE HIM SHOTS FOR

RADIATION POISONING --

SHOTS THAT CAUSED ALL HIS HAIR

TO FALL OUT.

LASTLY, AFTER THE WAR, HE

PERFORMED IN PHILADELPHIA UNDER

THE STAGE NAME LARRY STEWART,

BUT WE COULDN'T LEARN THIS FROM

JOHN.

THE SENSORY RECORD --

THE MOVIE THAT PLAYED ONLY IN

JOHN'S MIND, CALLED MEMORY --

IS GONE.

HIS LOVE, HIS DREAMS...

GONE.

WHO ARE WE WITHOUT OUR MEMORY?

I LOVE EVERYBODY AROUND HERE.

YEAH?

DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY TO SING

FOR US?

>> YEAH.

>> Dan: HALF THE PEOPLE IN

NURSING HOMES GET NO VISITORS,

SO IT'S NOT LIKE

FAMILY CAN DO IT.

THE NURSING HOMES DON'T REALLY

HAVE A READY BUDGET FOR THIS.

THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT

REIMBURSE FOR MUSIC, AND iPODS,

SO IT REALLY NEEDS TO COME FROM

SOMEWHERE.

SO MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO MAKE

THIS A STANDARD OF CARE

IN ALL 16,000 NURSING HOMES IN

THE COUNTRY.

THAT'S THE GOAL.

>> IT DEPENDS ON THE

NURSING HOME.

IT DEPENDS ON HOW PROACTIVE THE

VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT IS.

>> Dan: IS THIS SOMETHING YOU'D

WANT TO EXPLORE FOR YOUR OWN

FACILITIES?

>> WELL, I HAVE

SEVERAL CONCERNS.

>> THAT YOU GIVE IT TO 2 PEOPLE

AND 10 PEOPLE ARE GOING

TO WANT IT AND I'M NOT GOING TO

BE ABLE TO GIVE IT TO THEM.

>> FRANKLY, HOW

IT'S ADMINISTERED.

>> Woman: THIS IS A VERY

BIG PLACE.

WE HAVE 600 RESIDENTS HERE.

>> COST IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT

FACTOR THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER

IN EVERY PROGRAM.

>> Man: SO TELL ME, HOW CAN

I HELP YOU TODAY?

>> I'M LOOKING FOR A DONATION.

>> SIR, ONE SECOND HERE.

>> THE RESEARCH SHOWS IT,

OUR EXPERIENCE SHOWS IT --

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT

MAINSTREAMING THE USE OF

PERSONALIZED MUSIC,

USING iPODS...

I SPOKE TO THE SENIOR VICE

PRESIDENT AND THEY -- THEY HAVE

A NO CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY

POLICY.

THERE ARE 16,000 NURSING HOMES

IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE

CHALLENGE IS GETTING IT OUT

THERE, AND WE COULD REALLY USE

YOUR HELP.

>> Mike: SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR

TALKED TO HIM ABUT YOUR PROJECT?

>> NO, ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S,

SUPPORT OF THE ALZHEIMER'S

ASSOCIATION.

SUPPORT FOR ALZHEIMER'S.

>> SHE TALKED TO

THE MAN HIMSELF.

>> YEAH.

>> AND HE SAID NO?

>> YEAH.

SO, WHAT LUCK AM I GOING

TO HAVE?

>> Thomas: HOW'S THE WORK GOING?

>> Dan: IT'S A STRUGGLE.

IT'S A STRUGGLE.

>> Thomas: I HAVE TO TELL YOU,

I AM ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO

ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW

YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS.

BECAUSE A COUPLE OF DECADES AGO,

I GOT REALLY CHARGED UP BY THIS

IDEA THAT WE COULD BRING

PLANTS AND ANIMALS AND CHILDREN

INTO THE LIVES OF ELDERS.

I HAD THE SAME KIND OF

EXPERIENCES THAT YOU'VE

DESCRIBED, WHERE I COULD

SEE PEOPLE COME ALIVE.

WE HAD THIS DREAM THAT WE'D

JUST GO DOOR TO DOOR, BUT WE

COULDN'T PENETRATE, SORT OF, THE

FOG OF THE NURSING HOME.

WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS OUTSIDE OF

CONVENTIONAL PRACTICE AND YOU

HAVE TO -- AND IF YOU'RE

GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL GOING

FORWARD, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

HOW BIG A BARRIER THAT IS.

>> Man: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

PLEASE FIND YOUR SEATS.

>> Mike: WE WENT LOOKING FOR

ANSWERS.

IT TURNS OUT WE ARE NOT ALONE.

THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO

BELIEVE THERE'S SOMETHING

FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE

AMERICAN NURSING HOME.

>> Woman: I THINK WE ARE PART

OF A MOVEMENT THAT IS MUCH,

MUCH, BIGGER.

I WANT TO WORK ON CULTURE

CHANGE.

I WANT TO SUPPORT CULTURE

CHANGE AS A NATIONAL PRIORITY.

>> Dan: HI, BONNIE.

>> HI, DAN. WHAT'S UP?

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> WE VALUE INDEPENDENCE AND

HAVE THE HARDEST TIME,

I BELIEVE, OF ANY COUNTRY WITH

THE CONCEPT OF DEPENDENCE.

AND SO, WHEREAS OTHER FOLKS HAVE

INTEGRATED AGING, WE HAD

A UNIQUE INTEREST IN SAYING,

"OVER THERE -- I DON'T WANT TO

SEE IT, I DON'T WANT

TO KNOW ABOUT IT."

>> Mike: WHY ARE WE CHANGING

NOW?

>> WHY ARE WE CHANGING NOW?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING.

BECAUSE IT'S DEHUMANIZING.

AND I THINK, QUITE FRANKLY,

I THINK BABY BOOMERS ARE SAYING,

"THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

THIS IS NOT HOW I WANT TO BE

TREATED WHEN I GET OLDER."

>> Mike: THIS WAS INSPIRING,

BUT ARE

WE REALLY INTERESTED IN

CHANGING THE WAY AMERICA AGES?

>> Thomas: MIGHT NOT REALIZE IT

BUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

HAS ONLY 6,000 GERIATRICIANS IN

A NATION OF 300 MILLION PEOPLE.

EVEN WORSE, THAT NUMBER IS NOT

GOING UP, IT'S GOING DOWN.

>> THIS IS UNFORTUNATE TIMING,

BECAUSE THE CHALLENGES WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO FACE ARE

GROWING.

>> WE'RE FACING AN EPIDEMIC

OF NEUROLOGIC DISEASES ON

A GLOBAL SCALE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

A CHEERY THOUGHT.

ON THIS MAP, EVERY COUNTRY

THAT'S COLORED BLUE HAS MORE

THAN 20% OF ITS POPULATION

OVER THE AGE OF 65.

THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

AND THIS IS THE WORLD YOUR

CHILDREN WILL LIVE IN.

FOR 12,000 YEARS, THE

DISTRIBUTION OF AGES IN THE

HUMAN POPULATION HAS

LOOKED LIKE A PYRAMID WITH THE

OLDEST ON TOP.

IT'S ALREADY FLATTENING OUT.

BY 2050, IT'S GOING TO

BE A COLUMN AND WILL START TO

INVERT...

AND THIS IS WHY THAT'S

NOT ENTIRELY A GOOD

THING, BECAUSE OVER THE AGE OF

65, YOUR RISK OF GETTING

ALZHEIMER'S OR

PARKINSON'S DISEASE WILL

INCREASE EXPONENTIALLY.

THERE ARE FIVE MILLION

ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS IN

THE UNITED STATES.

IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, THAT

NUMBER WILL COME CLOSE

TO DOUBLING.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE FACILITIES,

WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES,

FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE,

TO COPE WITH THAT NUMBER

OF PEOPLE

SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA.

WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO HELP

THEM AGE IN PLACE IN A HEALTHY

MANNER.

>> WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT?

>> IT'S A -- FORK -- SP--

>> KNIFE?

>> NO? FORK?

OR SPOON?

>> Man: SHE SAYS WE JUST DON'T

UNDERSTAND.

I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE.

YOU END UP BEING DEPENDENT ON

SOMEONE ELSE FOR EVERYTHING THAT

YOU DO.

YOU CAN NO LONGER WRITE

YOUR NAME, YOU STRUGGLE READING,

YOU LOSE SMALL MOTOR CONTROL.

YOU CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW TO

GET IN AND OUT OF YOUR

APARTMENT, OR THE ELEVATOR.

>> SO, DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE IS

THE ELEVATOR, MAYBE IT'S HERE?

>> IT COULD BE, YES.

>> OKAY.

LET'S PRESS.

DO WE GO DOWN OR UP?

>> WE HAVE TO GO DOWN.

>> OKAY, SO, DO YOU WANT TO

PRESS FOR ME?

>> OH, YES, HERE.

THIS ONE?

I'M NOT SURE.

>> THAT'S UP.

>> SO THAT'S DOWN?

>> THIS IS DOWN, YES.

>> OKAY.

OH, DID I DO THAT BADLY?

>> I DON'T THINK SO.

DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?

>> YEAH.

WHOO!

OH, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

OH, BEAUTIFUL.

LOOK AT THAT.

ISN'T THAT LOVELY?

OH, GOTCHA.

I GOTCHA, I GOTCHA.

DIDN'T I, HUH?

>> FOR MARYLOU, LOVING HER

GRANDSON IS EASY.

>> THIS IS GOING TO THE, WHAT?

[ LAUGHS ]

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?

>> IT'S JUST EVERYTHING ELSE

THAT IS HARD.

>> I'M REALLY BAD, SEE.

LET'S SEE.

>> BUT SURPRISINGLY, EVEN DEEP

INSIDE ALZHEIMER'S,

HER CAPACITY FOR LOVE AND

AFFECTION REMAINS STRONG.

>> I HAVE LOTS OF PEOPLE TO TALK

TO ME AND DO ALL THAT KIND OF

THING, SO I...

YEAH. [ CRYING ]

>> Mike: ARE YOU SAD BECAUSE

OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT?

>> YES.

OF COURSE, BECAUSE HOW COULD

I DO THINGS IF I DIDN'T HAVE

PEOPLE WITH ME?

SO, THAT'S...

>> THIS IS A HARD JOURNEY FOR

YOU, HUH?

>> YEAH.

WELL, MY HUSBAND...

HE'S WONDERFUL.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO

HEAR SOME MUSIC?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LISTEN

TO SOME MUSIC.

>> SURE. WHY NOT?

>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE, DAN?

>> Dan: HERE YOU GO.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

>> Dan: STRAIGHT OVER

YOUR EARS AND YOUR HEAD...

>> PRESS THAT?

WE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT

COULD DO THIS, UNTIL WE

MET NORMAN AND NELL.

[ PIANO MUSIC PLAYS ]

>> Norman: NELL AND I HAVE BEEN

ABLE TO AVOID LONG TERM CARE FOR

A NUMBER OF YEARS BY

TRYING TO KEEP HER

CONSTANTLY STIMULATED.

MUSIC HAS

BEEN AN ENORMOUS PART OF IT.

THEN YOU'LL PLAY THE PIANO FOR

US?

>> YES, BUT I JUST WANT TO BE

>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I'D LOVE THAT.

>> NORMAN HAS CARED FOR NELL AT

WITHOUT DRUGS.

[ PIANO MUSIC PLAYS ]

WITHOUT PERSONALIZED MUSIC,

NELL WOULD BE IN

AN INSTITUTION.

>> I HAVE SPENT 38 YEARS NOW

WORKING ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

AND I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR

PATIENTS THAT'S AS EFFECTIVE

AS THE MUSIC THERAPY IS.

I WISH I HAD, AND I'M

STILL TRYING.

BUT I REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN

ANYTHING AS POSITIVE AS THAT.

>> MARYLOU AND NELL HAVE

FAMILY.

IMAGINE HAVING TO NAVIGATE THIS

ON YOUR OWN, FAR FROM

YOUR HOME.

DENISE GOT A MESSAGE TO US THAT

SHE WANTED US TO COME BACK --

THAT SHE HAD SOMETHING SHE

WANTED TO TELL US.

AND WE CAME...

>> DAN, HOW ARE YOU?

>> BECAUSE WE KNOW

NO ONE ELSE VISITS HER.

>> Dan: IT'S A LETTER FROM THE

HOSPITAL DESCRIBING HER

CONDITION.

"META-STASIS..."

>> THAT MEANS THAT IT HAS

SPREAD.

>> YES.

>> SO, BECAUSE OF THAT, I THINK

IT'S VERY SERIOUS.

>> IT IS VERY SERIOUS.

>> YOU KNOW, LIFE GOES ON.

IT GOES ON!

WHETHER YOU DIE OR NOT,

IT GOES ON.

AND I CAN NOT ACCEPT THAT

I DON'T LEAVE SOMETHING IN

THIS WORLD FOR SOMEBODY.

I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT!

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT

I AM SAYING?

[ PIANO MUSIC PLAYS ]

>> IT'S PAINFUL TO FEEL THAT

WHAT YOU HAVE TO GIVE

IS NOT NEEDED.

THAT THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO

RECEIVE YOUR GIFTS...

IN OUR PAST, IN ALL OUR

STORIES, IN OTHER CULTURES,

ELDERHOOD HAD SOMETHING TO

GIVE, AND THERE WAS

ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE WHO NEEDED

WHAT ELDERS HAD TO GIVE.

IS THIS TRUE IN OUR NEW WORLD?

DOES ELDERHOOD HAVE A PLACE?

>> Thomas: WE'RE TAUGHT FROM

A VERY EARLY AGE THAT ADULTHOOD

IS THE PINNACLE OF EXISTENCE.

AND THAT OLDER PEOPLE ARE REALLY

JUST BROKEN-DOWN VERSIONS OF

THEIR FORMER INCREDIBLE

SELVES...

WE'VE BUILT A CULTURE THAT

PRIZES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE

ABLE TO EMULATE

THE SUCCESS OF MACHINES,

THAT CAN BE MACHINE-LIKE

IN HOW THEY LIVE.

THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR AGING,

I HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE AGING IS

NOT A MACHINE-LIKE ENDEAVOR.

AND IT'S THE FACT THAT THEY ARE

MOVING INTO A DIFFERENT WAY OF

LIVING THAT CAUSES AMERICA

TO PUT THEM AWAY,

TO HIDE THEM AWAY.

WHAT I HAVE

LEARNED OVER A CAREER

OF WORKING WITH OLDER PEOPLE IS

THAT AMERICAN CULTURE IS WRONG.

THERE IS ACTUALLY LIFE BEYOND

ADULTHOOD.

[ HIP HOP PLAYS ]

THERE IS ACTUALLY THE

OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE AND GROW,

AND BECOME ELDERS.

>> [ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

EVERY INDIAN PEOPLE, ALL FOR

ALL.

ONE PEOPLE, VERY HAPPY.

VERY HAPPY.

AH, YES, YOU ARE HAPPY.

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ ALL CHANTING ]

>> WE ARE MADE TO AGE,

AND THE AGING THAT WE EXPERIENCE

ACTUALLY HOLDS IN IT VERY

IMPORTANT LEARNINGS AND

LESSONS...

>> THERE IS A TOUCH THAT TAKES

A LIFETIME TO ACHIEVE.

LOCKING THIS TOUCH AWAY IS LIKE

STRIPPING FROM OURSELVES PART

OF BEING HUMAN.

>> Samite: THESE PEOPLE THAT WE

SEE IN THIS NURSING HOME, THEIR

SPIRITS ARE DUMPED ON BECAUSE

WE'RE LOCKING THEM AWAY.

BUT WHEN YOU BRING THE MUSIC,

THAT SPIRIT IS WHAT WE SEE

THAT COMES OUT.

THAT SPIRIT IS STILL

FRESH AND YOUNG.

>> [ BOTH LAUGHING ]

>> MY PAIN IS VERY PAINFUL.

>> OH, SORRY.

>> WHAT?

>> I CAN TAKE A LOT OF PAIN.

YOU GIVE YOURSELF.

YOU THAT.

>> "THE STRONGEST WOMAN I HAVE

EVER MET."

>> [ BOTH LAUGHING ]

>> I LOVE YOU.

>> I LOVE YOU, TOO.

>> DAN WAS BREAKING THROUGH...

HE RECEIVED A GRANT TO GIVE

MATCHING FUNDS TO

35 NURSING HOMES...

AND THIS TIME THE NURSING HOMES

WERE LINING UP.

>> GOSH, HOW MANY DIFFERENT

STATES IS THIS GOING TO BE?

THAT'S JUST AMAZING.

>> HERE WE HAVE 50 HEADPHONES

AND THIS REPRESENTS 50 CHANGED

LIVES.

IT'S GREAT!

LOT OF MUSIC.

>> AFTER THREE YEARS OF

FILMING, DAN HAD MUSIC

IN 56 HOMES.

WE KNEW THIS WAS JUST A DROP IN

THE BUCKET.

>> Thomas: JUST CHANGING

SOMETHING IN A NURSING HOME

SOMEWHERE DOESN'T TAKE YOU

FAR ENOUGH.

OUR REAL FOCUS OF CONCERN NEEDS

TO BE THE 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE WHO

ARE LIVING IN NURSING HOMES AND

HOW TO MAKE THE LIVES OF

EVERYONE BETTER.

>> Dan: I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST

GOING TO BE...PSHEW!

JUST LIKE THAT.

PEOPLE WOULD JUST TAKE THE IDEA

AND RUN WITH IT.

THEY DIDN'T.

>> I LEFT DAN KNOWING HE WOULD

NEVER STOP.

I HOPED MAYBE HE'D REACH THE

RIGHT PERSON AND THEY WOULD

HELP HIM AND THIS DREAM OF HIS

WOULD COME TRUE.

>> Man: WE FIRST SEE HENRY
