The purpose of this study was to elicit the participants' perspective of a Therapeutic Life Review intervention program delivered by a home care worker. Following the intervention by the home care worker, 13 of the 14 older women receiving home care services were interviewed to examine their experiences. Qualitative data analysis revealed five themes: (1) Someone was there to listen to my story, (2) It was a special time, (3) A valued interaction with the home care worker developed, (4) Remembering was meaningful and pleasurable, and (5) Integration with one's lived experiences was healing. Three case scenarios illustrate the lives of these older women.
