  • Resumen

  • What if you were too young for the place you had no choice but to call home? At 39, Mel moved into a long-term care facility because of her MS. Fifteen years later, she's navigating a world designed for people twice her age—where privacy requires special door signs, intimacy becomes a spectator sport, and a single shower per week is the norm.

This episode is a window into the rarely discussed intersection of disability, aging care systems, and what it means to maintain your identity when the world around you doesn't quite fit. Through Mel's advocacy and refusal to be an afterthought, we discover her powerful mantra: "Inaccessible is unacceptable. Dignity matters.
