I will say this for the rehab places in my area (central PA) that at least I know they all have a tv in each and every room but sometimes, they do mix and mingle patients with Alzheimer's and/or dementia in the same areas. And yes, that would be difficult to deal with when you can't get any kind of response to communicate with a roommate, for sure! What you described here is exactly the scenario my late aunt feared would be her lot if/when she had to go into a home. I am soooo very thankful that the facility she ended up in for the last 18 months of her life was much, much nicer than anything you described here. And only two showers a week and they are paid for by medicare? How outrageous is that?

When you do meet them, though, it's like you're just getting together again after a spell rather than meeting for the first time. <br /><br />Blogging is bonding in so many ways that a lot of people don't or can't understand until they've done it themselves. <br /><br />Sarge was truly one of the good guys and this country has lost a patriot of the highest caliber.

I wish I had some actual gold stuff lying around that I could unload but alas, I've never been fortunate enough to have been given any "real" jewelry. Just goes to show that no one loves me! :-) <br /><br />I've cut way back on the amount of blogging that I do. I figured that no one was really reading anyway (at least if I base that assessment on the amount of comments that I get these days) plus when I do blog, it's more likely to be at The Distracted Wanderer which then ends up being some epic post that takes me hours to write. Oh well, maybe someday it will all pay off and I'll be a real writer - fingers crossed!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.com
