Oldest Resident in Your LTC

[gizzy76]

I'm curious to know how old the oldest folks are in your Long Term Care...or the oldest you've seen and the condition they were in...

Where I work there are 70 residents...of them...

105 years old...spunky, crawls out of her wheelchair under the seatbelt to go to the washroom

104 years old...not so mobile anymore, but interesting none the less...has a 2 hour "get ready for bed" routine each night using beauty creams and getting her sidestream

102 years old...new admit 5 days ago...walking (quite well too) and there is some discrepancy about his birth records...he may be actually 104! This man does not look a day over 85!

101 years old...practically comatose...she passed away a few weeks back, she'd moved into the home in 1983 or 1984.

We also have quite a number of other folks who are 95+ in age.

Really makes me scared to drink the water in this town! :roll

Thanks again

...on a sad note though, our 104 year old passed away today...She will be missed!

Oldest pt I've ever cared for was 106 on a Swing Bed unit about 10 er so years ago..she was total care..unable to speak..but what a smile :) whenever you would talk to her,give meds,care she always had that million dollar smile.I'd sing to her while helping with her bath..she seemed to love that..I swear that grin would go clear across her face..she lived for 2 more years at home with her family..they were great...makes me smile to think of her now...waves to Ms.Logan up in heaven:)
