Art of Aging: Drexel Nursing Students at Foulkeways

Art of Aging: Drexel nursing students caring for Seniors

In 6ABC’s Art of Aging: Drexel Nursing Students Care for Seniors, Drexel nursing students are featured caring for Residents at Foulkeways Retirement Community in Upper Gwynedd, Pennsylvania.

The student nurses make a big difference in the lives of residents.

Dr. Bill Mebane, a retired pediatrician and Foulkeways resident says, “Oh, I think it’s wonderful. Nothing like having young people in a place like this.”

Foulkeways’ resident Anna Lechman said, “They bring me tomatoes. They bring me chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, waken me at night and say “Hey I got something for you.” They’ve been very helpful. Not only with gifts, but a morale boost.”

And for the students, the experience can be life changing.

Kaitlyn Kenny, a senior nursing student says, “Whether it’s remembering that they really like chocolate pudding instead of vanilla pudding. Or even you know remember how they like to do their hair. Just seeing the satisfaction and the happiness on their faces is definitely very rewarding.”

Joyceann Frazier is the Clinical Instructor at Drexel University.

She says, “When I leave here at, you know at the end of my day, I feel like I’ve made a difference in the residents’ lives. I’ve put a smile on their faces and it makes me feel good to walk out the door.”
