Somehow that seems fitting to me. I'm pleased that Rosewood has implemented this program of dignity and I expect other area nursing homes will begin to make it part of their care. It's one more step in acknowledging the humanity of the person whose life may have ended in a manner they would not have chosen; in a manner that many would say wasn't dignified. It's one way to say to the family and the person who died. "Yes you mattered, and we will miss you." "Walking You Home" is a small but touching ceremony to mark one more step along life's final journey.
