    COMMENTS

    I presented Afternoon Radio Programs in a Care Home for a year, and the residents (and their care givers) were quite appreciative. Excellent quality, the stories were good for starting talk and memories and discussion among the residents.

    My target audience was Care Home residents and their care-givers in a Long-term Residence in Pennsylvania. Afternoons were good-times; a dozen or so folks gathered around my stereo speakers in the Library to listen to programs. They were happy to listen and afterward discuss among themselves the home-life they remember when they listened to programs around the big console. OTRCAT provides a good service in that regard; just about any program is a good conversation starter. Thanks!
