Episode 1: The pursuit of happiness in aged care

For this episode - The pursuit of happiness, our producer Helene Thomas spent time inside an aged care home in southern Tasmania.

Every Wednesday morning, retirees Geoff Atkins and Phil Hoysted play a game of trivial pursuit with some of the residents there. The activity room turns into a hot-bed of competitiveness and cheekiness, making it the highlight of the week.

We meet Alan and Margaret, both lovers of the trivial pursuit extravaganza, and both are very appreciative of Geoff and Phil volunteering their time. 

Alan and Margaret share what it was like moving into the home and how they find living there.

The bonds that have been formed between Geoff, Phil and the residents have made a profound difference to their lives and help them navigate the ups and downs of ageing.
