Sobre IBD

What do we, as a society, do with our aged and ailing? A fortunate few spend their last years in small, caring rest homes like Placida House, where each resident is lovingly treated like a member of the family. Baby Dog Benji rules the roost, lavishing canine warmth and affection. Lee and Svea are the expert cook and housemother, absolutely indispensable and adored by all. Henry does the maintenance and takes care of the grounds and occasionally saves somebody’s life. And Dr. William is the all-wise father figure who patiently steers Placida House safely through many a storm and keeps things running on an even keel.
