I bet the residents love that time spent with you and your family. I've spent many long days in nursing homes and the like and residents could talk about a visitor who came and played blackjack with them for weeks afterwards. I remember a woman who spoke about a young violin player who came six years prior, only once, and she remembered everything about that young woman, her music, what the rest of that day was like. It's a big deal, especially when some assisted living places are, unfortunately, where people are sent to be forgotten and made ignorable by their families.
This is touching
And demonstrates the power of just showing up
Thank you for sharing
