Pretty quiet day. At the writers meeting, where the topic was “crisis averted or endured”, and I had nothing, several people had really dramatic stories to tell. Like one person was doing charity work in South Sudan when a cease-fire broke and a revolution resumed and she had to get out of the country somehow.
At 4pm was the third, or is it 4th? in a series of talks detailing levels of care at CH. This was about the Assisted and Skilled care in the Lee Center. After the usual bullet points by staff, they had three current IL residents talk about how their spouses were cared for. All three were women talking about how the Lee Center staff cared for their husbands in their final year or so. All were very specific about the ways the staff were caring, and flexible, and creative in making their spouses comfortable. I know two men whose wives are in the Lee Center now, so it isn’t always women with failing husbands. But bottom line, at this meeting and multiple other times I’ve heard the staff praised.
