The good stuff about Nursing Homes....

[Indulgence]

Ok,we all know all about the less than desirable aspects of LTC.

Now lets hear about some of the good things..

Finally walking on that prosthesis..soon to go home..seeing the happiness and sense of accomplishment.

Walking by, little old confused lady grabs your hand, holds it and gives you a smile that lights up her face.

Watching elders enjoying the music,watching some dance to the music of their youth..watching them just have fun..

Tell us some of your good things!

Seeing their faces light up when I bring my children to visit.

Seeing their faces light up when I smile at them and say hello (a lot of people don't realize how much it means to these people to see a smiling happy face)

It keeps me humble to know I may very well be where they are now one day.

Many of the old ones have a lot of wisdom to share if people are willing to listen.

If you have a good support system and co-workers it can feel like a close knit family.
