The staff most often was unfamiliar with my w…”

“Yes, she was enjoying some food at a Spring Party the place where she is staying held for the residents today. And we had a live singer and music for an hour! She loved that! Thankfully. But she doesn't really feel good and it is tough because I can't help her all that much. I visit mostly to try to take her mind off what is going on with her. The aides try to help her.”
