Lodge Residents Taking Part in International Study


Several residents have been taking part in a research study of the life experiences of individuals over the age of 85. The project is being conducted by Leann Stadtlander, PhD and Martha Giles, PhD. Both Dr. Stadtlander and Dr. Giles are professors at Walden University in Minneapolis.

The research is designed to explore issues and triumphs of adults over 85. The study uses interviews with participants to gather data and determine common experiences in individuals over the age of 85.

Tra Mayes is serving as the research assistant at Sun Valley Lodge. Tra is in the Graduate Psychology Doctoral Program at Walden University and has been interviewing residents several times a week.

If you have any questions on the program or feel you are qualified and would like to participate, please contact Mike in the marketing office.
