David Simpson is an accomplished musician who’s been singing since the age of 12, performing alongside music legends like the Staples Singers, Dionne Warwick, and the Drifters. He’s a visual artist who uses his drawings and paintings to lift others’ spirits and push himself to improve his craft. He’s a father, a sibling, and heart transplant recipient. And he’s a resident of the Thome Rivertown neighborhood, a unique full-continuum care community in the heart of Detroit that combines affordable assisted living, Green House homes, and PACE day services.
David joins the podcast to recount his fascinating life story, his personal journey through a heart transplant, and why he enjoys living in a supportive place like Thome Rivertown.
David’s story challenges all of us to remember what empowering, dignified services and supports for elders really mean, and why we must continue to fight to make places like Thome Rivertown the rule, not the exception.
