@@YesTheoryI think they understood anyway ahaha!! Btw I had a taxi ride with cockney reg 2 days ago in London because of you guys - was an amazing encounter 💖
Dorothy is amazing, thought maybe 80’s but not 102! To be so mentally there, self aware, active!she is just fantastic! She takes that big purse with her, she is awesome! Dorothy’s daughter has the same genes. Both are beautiful ladies!
He has great potential behind the screen, he’s very well experienced and has a great personality and great people skills….. he’s one of the very few for everyone at any age can look up to
Hey guys, love this video. I'm a doctor, preparing for residency training. My dream by the end of my career is to build a old folks center and an orphanage/foster center side by side. This will allow our elders to have company of children, which they love, and will give our children caring grandparents. Its my dream, I promise if i live long enough I will do it!!
It's astonishing how sharp and quick-witted Dorothy is at 102 year old. She's always so quick to come up with a funny answer. Great sense of humor too.
Thank you @yestheory Staffan, Ammar, Thomas, and team for helping us bring joy and unforgettable memories to our residents! Your energy, kindness, and commitment to seeking discomfort made this experience truly special. We couldn't have done it without you! Here's to creating more impactful memories together! We can't wait to see Dorothy's next adventures in Australia! For anyone who wants to get involved, join us! Or consider volunteering at your local senior community or visiting seniors who could use a little extra company. Let's keep spreading joy together! - Denise #grateful #communitymagic #theredwoodsacommunityofseniors
We love you so much guys! Thanks for doing all the magic you do for the elders. And to show that a non profit organization can have these high standards. Keep rocking!
@@YesTheory Your support means the world to us for recognizing the passion and dedication behind our nonprofit! 🙏 Your support helps amplify our mission!
I've visited several retirement homes for family members and even worked in one for a while. Yours however, is special. Thank you for your work, for helping the elderly have a beautiful encore to their life. I wish everyone could spend their last years in a place like yours.
When he said you ladies look beautiful to Patricia and Barbara I started crying at her “no one has said that in a lot of years”. You are such a kind soul to bring them that reminder of love☺️
6 minutes in and i'm in tears.. Steffan is the best.. I am so happy he was found and brought into the family.. ok, video finished and tears are streaming.. such a beautiful video
This really does change my perspective of what it means to be 80, 90, 100 years old. I always though living to 80 would be a great feat, but now I'm realizing that's still so young, there is a lot of life to be lived well into our later years.
If there's a will, there's a way! Retirement or aging doesn't have to be boring. We encourage our residents to stay engaged by asking them what they want to do next. That'll be the question you'll have to ask yourself in your later years, thanks for watching!
At 50 I feel like I'm still approaching middle age. Figuring out how to get healthy was important though. Proper diet, physical activity, and social connections.
I work at a retirement home just as a server in a dining room....I teared up. Dorothy made me think of a resident at my place. She has been to every continent except for South America, she told me that travel is the spice of life.... she's 94, and every day she makes sure to remind me that she is super grateful for being upright.
This is insane because after watching this video this morning I went to a local home and asked to just interact with people and I was allowed, I was there for 3 hours and I must admit I learned a lot of new things and had an amazing time, I plan on returning my next day off. Thanks for inspiring me to step out my comfort zone and do something I wouldn’t have done ever.
I'm next after you. Bringing my 8 month old baby this week to meet some older, wiser folks and spread some smiles and joy. This is humanity. This is community.
@@YesTheory you guys have inspired me in more ways than one to explore and say yes to things. i just sent an email to a local retirement home to become a volunteer. I've always had a soft spot for the elderly and always wanted to volunteer and this video sorta gave me the last push
idk why but at 4:49 that moment when she introduced the lady who was 102 sitting all by herself warmed my heart it just showed me the people who work there really care about there people :)
In my home country of the Netherlands there are more and more initiatives similar to this video. Because young students are having difficulty finding places to live, they are moving into retirement homes cheaply. There they help out with taking (mentally, no actual nursing) care of the residents. I think it's a nice system to give people a place to live and take care of lonely elderly
I lost my grandma this year and i made sure to go over each and every sunday for Lunch, just talking with her. The past 4 years i went over to her's 3 times a week to take care of her, miss ya grandma
Thank you guys so much for that wonderful, uplifting video. I am 63 and feeling life is over but seeing this has filled me full of hope and energy. I cried. To hear them enjoying the betals was wonderful. I was not born when the first Betals songs were hits yet grew up in the 60s just hearing them all. Amazing video, full of love, hope and kindness. Thank you SO MUCH 😊 GOING TO WATCH THE TRIP TO AUSTRALIA NOW. 102! I COULD have another 30 /40 yearsb😊
A big thing to notice on people who live up to 100 years or so they are so worry free sarcastic and overalll fun to be around....i Love the unexpectedness
Who would've thought a weekday trip to the city to celebrate these lovely women would lead to such an adventure!! SO honored to be a part of this. Meeting Dorothy, Patricia and Barbara made our month! A group of us went to their retirement home on Friday to spend time with the residents. We had such a good time, had great conversations, and were given so much sage advice. One of us was even adopted by one of the women 😄 Thank you Ammar and Staffan for allowing us to be a part of this ❤
That you guys went to the retirement home after we been there is 🥹 And the adoption story shows that everyone in the Yes Fam Community can be adopted by an elder 😎
Thank you Ashley and to the other amazing volunteers who visited after the surprise celebration! Your support made a lasting impact on the residents and to The Redwoods team! #volunteerheroes
This is the most beautiful video I’ve seen in a long time. I hope we all get to experience People like you guys in our golden years. This is a moment that will never be forgotten for them thank you men for being so kind to others .
I just placed my father in a memory care facility, after caring for him for years, and this appreciation of seniors in such a loving way had me in tears. Thank you Stefan and Amar for celebrating our most precious and wise segment of society. You are inspiring the world to follow suit. I love you guys!!💜🎉💜
31 years old male and I can’t stop crying. May god give you strength to keep doing what you guys are doing and putting smiles on people. God bless Yes Theory
This might be my all time favorite yes theory video. There are incredible stories you guys share from all over the world, but this one hit different. Seeing the excitement on their faces over a bus ride, walking into a group of young people with smiles and arms wide open was a beautiful thing to see. This retirement home is actually local to me and makes me want to go volunteer to hear these stories and experience this level of joy and acceptance just from showing up. I cant wait to see this Australian adventure
You won't regret it! You can learn so much from them, and they really just want to feel and experience a little excitement in their life and possibly gain a new friend along the way. Hearing their life experiences alone are worth millions to the ones that truly listen. I miss working with the elderly. It was such an amazing feeling to know that I was making their last days special, and they were making mine healthier. Often, they give advice that will really make you think about your own life path. I wish you the best, and I hope you do visit them. You won't regret it. ❤
This here is the epitome of why this channel, this movement is as special as it has become! YES to new experiences, YES to new friends, and YES to new beautiful memories! Very OG feel, keep going back to this!
I love you guys so much everywhere, no matter the circumstances or cultures and in this case older people you bring excitement and joy, always love. 💕 I’m soon to be 75 and will never be able to travel except on RUclips. I am so grateful for your channel!!!!
There are enough people like Dorothy, only the problem is that they're 'invisible' to society as they spend their last years in retirement homes with an ever decreasing number of visitors. Sad to think about
Aww Dorothy is beautiful I love how she looking after you in the nursing home and showing you around I’m a care aid in Australia we need more here for the elderly like this care home different things for them to do I love how the dining room set up lovely I work in respite care for the elderly
I'm so happy you guys found Staffan and invited him to join your team. He's jut the most genuine, kind hearted person ever and he has been such a wonderful addition!! Especially for videos like this.. he just shines.
My sister works at a retirement home. I volunteer often. It's incredibly sad how beautiful personalities get forgotten by their loved ones. Please take time out of your busy life ..send flowers, make a visit. Promise you it makes a difference
I was in an accident five years ago that set me back so long-and I still haven't recovered. My body and mind are not working properly anymore, but seeing the energy from Dorothy (who is 70 years older than me) and all the other wonderful ladies in the video has sparked something in me. Their minds and energy are a great reminder of how you should approach life. I want to do better. Thank you guys ⚡⚡
They are so mentally sound it's very impressive! ❤ Every elderly person I speak to rambles on about something insane so it's nice to see this and gives me hope about getting older
I always end up blubbering, you guys get me right in the heart. Not enough to make me buy your merch but you still make my life happier, hopeful and you inspire me to be brave and kind and I love you guys, come get stoned in New Zealand, meet the wildlife!
11:06 Patricia happy birthday to beautiful women! Hearing her say “no one said that for many years” kinda broke me. Just such quick comment probably made her day 😢❤ just beautiful
I've never seen one of your videos before today and I have watched at least three so far. I'm in love with every one of you guys. Your videos are amazing and you just seem like the nicest people anyone would ever want to know. Thank you for all you're doing to show people the world in a new light.
The way that Yes Theory connects with humans is just beautiful, but there’s something about how genuine and earnest Stefan comports himself just makes this particular adventure even more lovely. I’m sure those ladies are forever grateful to have met you ☺️
I’ve been following Yes Theory for nearly seven years, and I have to say, this video touched me in a way I can’t quite put into words. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I’m sitting here, tears streaming down my face-not of sadness, but pure joy and gratitude. Thank you for creating something so profoundly moving and sharing it with all of us :)
I've been volunteering with the elderly and worked with them for years. Many have such great stories and experiences, and just spending 10 minutes talking to someone can make their week. If you go to a cafe on your own and see an elderly person sitting by themselves, please go up, ask to join them and chat to them. I used to work in a cafe where a lot of elderly came once a week just to get some human interaction, and it is soo rewarding to get to know them or introduce them to another regular customer.
Such a wonderful video. It took me back to a time many years ago when I befriended a lovely 96year old lady. She told me her many stories and shared her great wisdom. Our time together only lasted 3 years before she died, but they were wonderful years I will never forget.
Thanks very much for this action. I was in an assisted living facility for 6 weeks in 2010 at age 64 after back surgery. It was not as upscale as The Redwoods but I met so many nice people who were much older than I. Some of the residents had been well known in their working years and one of the women still sculpted. So, yes, learning their stories is very important. I'm a native of the Bay Area and was in Australia only once, in October/November 2002. It's a wonderful land and I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode.
For people who wonders what the show staffan is talking about, its called Kan du vissla johanna. Its extremely wholesome and its aired every Christmas!
This video was so heart warming! I work in a senior living facility and its amazing how alive and upbeat the residents are here. They love talking to people and sharing their stories with us. As a veteran my self i like meeting the older veterans here and hearing their stories. I cant wait to see Dorothy in Australia!
I lost my grandmother last week, she spent the last couple of years in a retirement home back in my home country lebanon and because what's happening there the last time i saw her was a year ago . i would give everything to be able to kiss her hands again and hear her stories , you guys made my day !!! BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!
This video got me incredibly emotional. My grandma lived with us and was my best friend when I was growing up. She eventually moved into a retirement home that was more of an apartment building, more independent living. They’d gather in the community center in the building for events and such too. I loved visiting my grandma there, and she was always so excited to introduce me to all her friends- she knew everybody! 🥲 She passed 6 years ago, and I miss her dearly. The elderly have always had a warm place in my heart bc of my Grandma Grace. I’m glad you got to fulfill this dream of visiting a retirement home, Staffan 🫶🏻😊
Beautiful video! I used to work in a rest home and sadly many residents rarely get visitors and many spend Christmas on their own. It brought a massive smile to my face to see you visiting the elderly. I used to sit with residents and just chat to them after work, it brought me so much joy
You guys and Dorothy were awesome. She reminded me so much of my mum before she passed. Been from Australia to see her have such an amazing time filled me with pride of our beautiful country. Thank you guys for doing that for her
I missed my grandma so much today and this video made my heart smile. Thank you for taking time to visit and listen for them. ❤ you guys are such blessings
This is so heartwarming. I loved hearing their stories and seeing their personalities. The elderly have so much to give. It’s beautiful. It’s also awesome that you went to the Bay Area. I loved seeing the Yes Fam from my area come out and support! Thank you for inspiring me and money others to seek discomfort.
102 is only the age.... Her spirit is 20... She uplifted me soooo much... I live in Australia and i would wish to meet you up and give you a hug.. Lots lots lots of love..
Im not crying you're crying. So many special moments in this video and so many special ladies featured in this video Dorothy, Barbara and Patricia your zest for life and friendships it truly amazing thank you for sharing❤
Stefan! Way to make my cry for half of the video, I lost my 88 yr old great grandmother last year and that was a hard hit, currently my grandma faubert is 93 and JUST this year retired. Shes crisp and clear and has been a realtor all her life, she's looking into moving out by me because we are close and into a nursing home. Whenever she moves here and I go to visit her, I'm gonna try and be like Stefan and make everyone around, not just my grandma, feel appreciated
The beauty you have brought into the lives of these amazing seniors is unparalleled. Love this episode and look forward to Part 2 of the adventure. What a thrill for Dorothy! And a thrill for your audience to view!
My grandmother is 91 years old and every morning I call her and have a check in with her and I think it’s amazing what you did for these amazing women ❤
I love Dorothy, Patricia, and Barbara. What a trio! Giving Dorothy a trip to Australia is beautiful, what a kind thing to do for such a lovely lady. Those pictures of her when she was younger brought a tear to my eye. There's something magical about seeing someone in another time, looking into their past and the different world they lived in.
My Aunt is 102 1/2. She lives in Green Bay WI. She was a school teacher. Started in one room schools in central Wisconsin. She didn't go into a nursing home till she was 100. She took the Queen Mary boat over to Europe post WW2 with a another lady. I think of all the changes she has seen in her life time. She never married. The stories she has. I am so grateful my kids got to know her. She went to Green Bay Packer games till she was in her late 80's with her sister who recently passed at 86. She too was a teacher and never married. They had a lot of adventures together. So blessed to have them in our lives.
This has to be one of the best YesTheory videos. Thank you so much for bringing so much joy to this elderly home. I was smiling the whole video and that is special.
I’m glad you made this video! I’m 16 and love talking to the elderly! I interview WW2 Korea and VN war veterans and hearing their stories is always incredible!
I love this video! Thank you for bringing attention to the Senior Living sector. As an Assisted Living Administrator myself, I know that many people have a negative outlook on Long Term Care facilities so it's great to see positive coverage of our communities and residents! Thank you Yes Theory for sharing your kind heartedness with our seniors! ❤ If you're ever in NJ, I would love to have you guys stay for 48 hours in my community. 😊
"why we send so many of them away" exactly that's so sad. in my culture it's so important to look after our older parents after we are grown up. And this way our kids even see and love their grandparents even more.
Thank you Dorothy, Patricia and Barbara for the new friendship!
We love you guys so much!! Thank you for being you🥹🫶
This is wonderful. Thank you for all you do for people.
"I want you to know I'm older than this Bridge!" 🌉
This lady's attitude, GOLD! 😄
Thanks for this episode guys!
Love this and y'all!!!
Why couldn't you do this in Sweden?
Dorothy is 102?!?!? Holy crap she’s in phenomenal health!!!
Blew my mind too! God bless her! Wow!
Seems full of life ❤
I'd be happy to be half her health at half her age
Staffan getting nervous in front of the elderly ladies for introducing himself as a “single man” 😂 4:25
Haha! I really stumbled on the words. I tried to say I was alone here in the dining area, still blushing😆/ Staffan
@@YesTheoryI think they understood anyway ahaha!! Btw I had a taxi ride with cockney reg 2 days ago in London because of you guys - was an amazing encounter 💖

I think Staffan should just have his own senior channel where he literally just does this all over the world. More of this, please!
He has great potential behind the screen, he’s very well experienced and has a great personality and great people skills….. he’s one of the very few for everyone at any age can look up to
pleaseeeeee
Same and like make a wish type patients
Agreed! It's such good content that I know everyone will love.
Staffan Taylor? Ruined my idea he was a swede
Hey guys, love this video.
I'm a doctor, preparing for residency training. My dream by the end of my career is to build a old folks center and an orphanage/foster center side by side. This will allow our elders to have company of children, which they love, and will give our children caring grandparents.
Its my dream, I promise if i live long enough I will do it!!
We pray that you make this dream a reality one day ❤️
Great idea!!!!
turn that dream into a reality!
Amazing, that seems like that’s exactly how it should be all along
Big and beautiful Dream. I‘ll pray for it to happen. Blessings from Germany
"I'm older than that bridge"- what a sweetie. She was so touched. It's heart warming.

And so aware as well, went with the convo no problem. Seems very bright!

I was in an accident five years ago that set me back so long-and I still haven't recovered. My body and mind are not working properly anymore, but seeing the energy from Dorothy (who is 70 years older than me) and all the other wonderful ladies in the video has sparked something in me. Their minds and energy are a great reminder of how you should approach life. I want to do better. Thank you guys ⚡⚡
And thank you too. Speedy recovery
They are so mentally sound it's very impressive! ❤ Every elderly person I speak to rambles on about something insane so it's nice to see this and gives me hope about getting older
I can't believe how good Dorothy looks!!❤
the fact she gets to go Australia at 102 is just so beautiful ❤
one last thing she thought she'd never do and she gets to do it ❤
Patricia will forever remember her 94th birthday, and well, yeah 50th too! Thanks guys for making this
I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so much at one video. We all need to be so grateful for life itself.
I always end up blubbering, you guys get me right in the heart. Not enough to make me buy your merch but you still make my life happier, hopeful and you inspire me to be brave and kind and I love you guys, come get stoned in New Zealand, meet the wildlife!
This is one of the best senior homes. They are few and far between. These ladies are very blessed.
This has a big "OG Yes Theory" vibe to it and I love it! Please more of this kind of stuff including strangers and taking them on adventures!
Yea please. Less cults, Ufos and conspiracy theories more happy, connections and experiences OG style.
Found myself crying and smiling while watching this
Throughout! So much love and appreciation!!!
You're not alone.
11:06 Patricia happy birthday to beautiful women! Hearing her say “no one said that for many years” kinda broke me. Just such quick comment probably made her day 😢❤ just beautiful
I've never seen one of your videos before today and I have watched at least three so far. I'm in love with every one of you guys. Your videos are amazing and you just seem like the nicest people anyone would ever want to know. Thank you for all you're doing to show people the world in a new light.
I love all your videos with elderly! What would be awesome is a playlist of all the lovely elders and their wisdom! ♡
The way that Yes Theory connects with humans is just beautiful, but there’s something about how genuine and earnest Stefan comports himself just makes this particular adventure even more lovely. I’m sure those ladies are forever grateful to have met you ☺️
We can confirm the residents loved Staffan and Ammar! They were dubbed as the "young handsome fellows" 🥰😅
What an absolutely beautiful story! Im a 6'2 350 lb man and I got tears rolling. You guys are amazing! There is so much love and light in their eyes.
I’ve been following Yes Theory for nearly seven years, and I have to say, this video touched me in a way I can’t quite put into words. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I’m sitting here, tears streaming down my face-not of sadness, but pure joy and gratitude. Thank you for creating something so profoundly moving and sharing it with all of us :)
Beautiful! Thank you for spreading joy, kindness and hope for humanity!
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Yes Theory is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive 🤷
I've been volunteering with the elderly and worked with them for years. Many have such great stories and experiences, and just spending 10 minutes talking to someone can make their week. If you go to a cafe on your own and see an elderly person sitting by themselves, please go up, ask to join them and chat to them. I used to work in a cafe where a lot of elderly came once a week just to get some human interaction, and it is soo rewarding to get to know them or introduce them to another regular customer.
All of these elderly are such beautiful kind people
This was, love, pure as it can be. Thank you.
Such a wonderful video. It took me back to a time many years ago when I befriended a lovely 96year old lady. She told me her many stories and shared her great wisdom. Our time together only lasted 3 years before she died, but they were wonderful years I will never forget.
I work with the elderly disabled, and it's the most gratifying job I have ever had.
This grandma is at the top of her game! So sharp, so spontaneously witty! Wow, what an inspiration
when you guys shown the Dorothy pictures it just hits all at once. we gotta take care and hear our elders such a good video!!!!!!!
i had tears streaming the whole time. life is so precious
Thanks very much for this action. I was in an assisted living facility for 6 weeks in 2010 at age 64 after back surgery. It was not as upscale as The Redwoods but I met so many nice people who were much older than I. Some of the residents had been well known in their working years and one of the women still sculpted. So, yes, learning their stories is very important. I'm a native of the Bay Area and was in Australia only once, in October/November 2002. It's a wonderful land and I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode.
For people who wonders what the show staffan is talking about, its called Kan du vissla johanna. Its extremely wholesome and its aired every Christmas!
I LOVE our elders! They are so under appreciated and valued!
I love Dorothy & excited to see her Australia adventure !!! She’s an inspiration.
My birthday is also October 24th - very honored to share a birthday with someone as lovely as Patricia!
This video was so heart warming! I work in a senior living facility and its amazing how alive and upbeat the residents are here. They love talking to people and sharing their stories with us. As a veteran my self i like meeting the older veterans here and hearing their stories. I cant wait to see Dorothy in Australia!
Dorothy is an amazing person... Old people are really sweet. We should be kind and respectful to them. Awesome vlog yes theory. Thank you 😊
I lost my grandmother last week, she spent the last couple of years in a retirement home back in my home country lebanon and because what's happening there the last time i saw her was a year ago . i would give everything to be able to kiss her hands again and hear her stories , you guys made my day !!! BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!
condolences ❤ I couldn't imagine
Sorry for your loss 😢 it's never easy. Keep your head up .
Allah yerhama ❤

This video got me incredibly emotional. My grandma lived with us and was my best friend when I was growing up. She eventually moved into a retirement home that was more of an apartment building, more independent living. They’d gather in the community center in the building for events and such too. I loved visiting my grandma there, and she was always so excited to introduce me to all her friends- she knew everybody! 🥲 She passed 6 years ago, and I miss her dearly. The elderly have always had a warm place in my heart bc of my Grandma Grace. I’m glad you got to fulfill this dream of visiting a retirement home, Staffan 🫶🏻😊
Beautiful video!
I used to work in a rest home and sadly many residents rarely get visitors and many spend Christmas on their own.
It brought a massive smile to my face to see you visiting the elderly. I used to sit with residents and just chat to them after work, it brought me so much joy
You guys and Dorothy were awesome. She reminded me so much of my mum before she passed. Been from Australia to see her have such an amazing time filled me with pride of our beautiful country. Thank you guys for doing that for her
These 3 beautiful ladies taught us what the Joy Of Life is!
I missed my grandma so much today and this video made my heart smile. Thank you for taking time to visit and listen for them. ❤ you guys are such blessings
I absolutely LOVE all these sweet elderly people full of such personality! The birthday party was so precious! I can’t wait for the next episode! ❤
This is so heartwarming. I loved hearing their stories and seeing their personalities. The elderly have so much to give. It’s beautiful. It’s also awesome that you went to the Bay Area. I loved seeing the Yes Fam from my area come out and support! Thank you for inspiring me and money others to seek discomfort.
102 is only the age.... Her spirit is 20... She uplifted me soooo much... I live in Australia and i would wish to meet you up and give you a hug.. Lots lots lots of love..
Guys, you all are GREAT!!!! Every time I watch your videos I finish them with a huge smile on my face. Godspeed and greetings from northeast Brazil.
Im not crying you're crying. So many special moments in this video and so many special ladies featured in this video Dorothy, Barbara and Patricia your zest for life and friendships it truly amazing thank you for sharing❤
Stefan!
Way to make my cry for half of the video, I lost my 88 yr old great grandmother last year and that was a hard hit, currently my grandma faubert is 93 and JUST this year retired.
Shes crisp and clear and has been a realtor all her life, she's looking into moving out by me because we are close and into a nursing home.
Whenever she moves here and I go to visit her, I'm gonna try and be like Stefan and make everyone around, not just my grandma, feel appreciated
The beauty you have brought into the lives of these amazing seniors is unparalleled. Love this episode and look forward to Part 2 of the adventure. What a thrill for Dorothy! And a thrill for your audience to view!
GIMMIE THE NEXT EP RIGHT NOW
You guys have been steadily keeping up the streak of getting me to cry at every single video for the past 3 odd years now.
My grandmother is 91 years old and every morning I call her and have a check in with her and I think it’s amazing what you did for these amazing women ❤
I love Dorothy, Patricia, and Barbara. What a trio! Giving Dorothy a trip to Australia is beautiful, what a kind thing to do for such a lovely lady. Those pictures of her when she was younger brought a tear to my eye. There's something magical about seeing someone in another time, looking into their past and the different world they lived in.
You have got to stop making me crying at those episodes! this was awesome, I wish my grandparents were still around
My Aunt is 102 1/2. She lives in Green Bay WI. She was a school teacher. Started in one room schools in central Wisconsin. She didn't go into a nursing home till she was 100.
She took the Queen Mary boat over to Europe post WW2 with a another lady. I think of all the changes she has seen in her life time. She never married. The stories she has. I am so grateful my kids got to know her. She went to Green Bay Packer games till she was in her late 80's with her sister who recently passed at 86. She too was a teacher and never married. They had a lot of adventures together. So blessed to have them in our lives.
This has to be one of the best YesTheory videos. Thank you so much for bringing so much joy to this elderly home. I was smiling the whole video and that is special.
I’m glad you made this video! I’m 16 and love talking to the elderly! I interview WW2 Korea and VN war veterans and hearing their stories is always incredible!
You guys are the best. I’m smiling. I’m laughing. I’m crying. Happiest of vibes connecting with our older generation.
I love this video! Thank you for bringing attention to the Senior Living sector.
As an Assisted Living Administrator myself, I know that many people have a negative outlook on Long Term Care facilities so it's great to see positive coverage of our communities and residents! Thank you Yes Theory for sharing your kind heartedness with our seniors! ❤
If you're ever in NJ, I would love to have you guys stay for 48 hours in my community. 😊
Literally cried and laugh the whole time, you guys are so inspiring 🫶🏻💕
@yestheory Im BEGGING you please! Take the other two ladies to Australia aswell, they looked like the perfect comedy trio!
"why we send so many of them away" exactly that's so sad. in my culture it's so important to look after our older parents after we are grown up. And this way our kids even see and love their grandparents even more.
