Jan came home with me on Monday, January 10. After her lunch at Autumn Leaves, I decided to take her home for awhile to be in a more quiet atmosphere with me and the dogs. One of the things about Jan is that she is easily distracted with anything going on or being said. If I sit with her to help her eat, she looks at me and trys to read everything and every expression on my face. It's too loud in the dinning area and that is a distraction for her. Her ability to use a fork or spoon are poor enough and you add the distractions, she struggles to eat what is on her plate. I have decided that I should not be in the dinning room while she is eating, so I leave it up to the caregivers to help her. I returned her after dinner and she was fine.
We had a 30 day review with the officials and they responded pretty good. This Autumn Leaves has not had a Director for several weeks, but the nurse and Regional Supervisor listen to my complaints and have responded to each concern.
Craig's family was up this past week and the boys were the entertainment for several residents. They were quite entertaining to me as well. Also one of Jan's longtime friends came for a visit and she recognized her and responded to her, Jan was excited.
