Day care!

The social worker from Providence Home Health came to visit today - part of the service they provide and to make sure we aren't mistreating our live-in elder. After having a conversation with Leola and looking at the house, she seemed satisfied that Leola was well groomed, wasn't sharing a room with 4 kids and several small animals. She wasn't screaming, "Get me out of here!" However, she gave us some great resources, one in particular we didn't know about. Day care for seniors! You can actually drop off your socially inclined senior at someone's house or facility and he/she can stay for a half day or a full day of interaction with other seniors with dementia. What a concept!
