Gold: For Better or Worse
People in rural areas are often the hardest to reach in terms of getting health care. Rather than seeking it out because of the remote nature of their environment, they often end up with out care. Frequently they turn to each other, their families or depend on themselves. This story is a look at the struggles of aging in southern Ohio through the eyes of Bernard and Mary Triplet. The elderly couple that has been married for 62 years lives everyday affected by the harsh realities that come with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It has robbed Mary of her memory over the last five years and forced Bernard to become her primary care giver. The burden increases every day as the 85-year-old reluctantly faces his own deteriorating health and inability to provide adequate care.
