Jill had just started working in a nursing home, now referred to as an aged care facility, four weeks ago as the new manager when she was blocked in front of her office by the residents of the nursing home. Initially, she thought they were trying to welcome her officially in their unique way as the new manager, but the reverse was the case. She pressed further to know why they had blocked her office. The residents prefer a stand-up comedy event, a concert, or an art exhibition for a sports event, which Jill has already mapped out. This is because some of them write jokes, poems, paint, sing, etc. Will Jill consider their requests instead of a sports activity? Find out in this amazing masterpiece crafted by Mark Fletcher and titled "Not Dead Yet!: Stories from the Last Stop."

I appreciate Jill’s patience in knowing what the age group wanted, as it took long before they could speak out. Her show of humanity is worthy of emulation. I laugh out loud anytime Alexander throws his biscuits, cake, and tea into the toilet bowl and flushes them. I will be glad if elderly people are well taken care of in terms of feeding, medication, and care.

Also, the importance of Twitter as a social platform was demonstrated in this book. They could organize a campaign using hashtags that got the attention of politicians in charge of the aged care facility. That alone is impressive!

I found no downsides to 'Not Dead Yet!'  so, on a scale of 1–5, I would rate it five out of five stars. It was well edited, with only one error noticed. I will recommend this book to anyone below the age of fifty so that they will learn how to care for their elderly parents and family members.
