Writing Your Story · For Retired & Assisted Living

Your story, for your own time.

Dem tell di story, dem type di story, for dia own pace. We just be di companion wey want make dem get dia story — for dia own time.

Enter
Two women dey write together for one table near lake — Writing Your Story.

Personal Companion

For di ones wey raise us — a friend for di table, for as long as dem wan stay.

Everybody get granny or grandpa — and almost none of dia stories never dey written down.

Dis room, we build am to change dat. One resident go sidon — for di common room, for dia own chair, for one shared facility computer — and one patient companion just dey there: ready to help dem write, ready to write am for dem, or ready to just sidon small. No forms. No learning “AI.” If dem fit talk to a friend over coffee, dem fit do dis.

Some go come write one chapter. Some go come tell one small story from 1962. And some go come just for company and music — and for dis room, dat na complete visit. When dem ready, di pages go ready too.

Whatever your words be, dem deserve di pages — and we grateful for everything wey you do and don do over di years.

The Pen — when dem rather talk pass type

Dem talk; di room writes. Truly dia words, never ours — we elevate wetin dem talk and read every page back until dem say “na my story be dis.” Nothing don finish until dem talk say e don finish. For hands wey dey shake and eyes wey dey tire, di microphone na di pen.

Dia story, sealed as dia own

Facility computers na shared one; stories no be so. Every story go save, sealed with a code wey na dia own alone — a wrong code and e simply no go open. Private by construction, for any machine for di building.

One full book, or one perfect short story — dia choice

We go ask once for di door and we go honor am always: one full novel or one short story, up to forty-five thousand words — because some stories like to talk well-well, and we no dey ever cut a teller short. E go end as a real book with dia name for di cover: keep am, print copies for family, and preserve am for di generations wey dey come.

Music while dem write — or while dem just sidon

Dem fit just talk say dem wan small music — di stations of dia own era, a song wey dem call by name — and di room go discuss di music with dem and build di playlist for di facility to run. Coffee, company, and di songs wey dem take court dia love.

For Di Facility

One license, every resident. Di warmest hour for di activities calendar, di program wey families dey ask about for tours — and di veterans for your building get dia own room, free for dem always, wey we dey keep separate on purpose. Two doors, one house.

The Spoken Pen

If dem rather talk pass type — di room don already dey listen.

Hands wey dey shake and eyes wey dey tire still dey hold whole lifetimes. One big button dey turn di computer microphone to a pen — dem talk, dia words go appear for big print, and di Companion go write am with dem.

🎤 PRESS & TALK

One button. You talk, di page go write, The Pen go do di rest.

“Dem tell di story, dem type di story, for dia own pace. We just be di companion wey want make dem get dia story — for dia own time.”
