Dad appears to be joining in at the care home.
Apparently he was in the lounge today joining in .They were singing Liverpool songs.
Plus a lot of others.
Also he is not going to bed early.At home he is put in bed at 18.00 but he is one of the later ones..
They have phoned me so that is nice.
I was going in today but it is pouring.Seems like he is relaxing

The Activity lady at my Mum's care home sends me photos of Mum, making a hat, a potpourri which was put in her wardrobe and a couple of photos of Mum laughing. She knows I live a long way away. The photos are just a delight to receive. To know Mum is laughing and enjoying herself is a such a delight.

It is nice when they go that extra mile.:)

Okay I’m now a bit jealous!
These homes sound amazing!
It has always been quite good but they have changed a few things under the leadership..They now have a “bar” where fruit juice is kept with glasses for all those that might want a drink.It is a calm atmosphere majority of the time.
Dad’s room is en-suite over looking Godrevy lighthouse and the sea..Only 3 double rooms down the corridor so it is quiet.:)
