George's Home is in lock down at present as many residents have vomitting and diarrhoea. Keeping fingers crossed at the moment as so far George has not been affected. I am still popping in with milk shakes and things but I am not staying for long.
Often, when I arrive, George will be seating in the lounge and be sleeping. After a while he will wake. He still recognises everyone and enjoys looking through his books and photos. We discuss the photos and talk about things we all did together. He also enjoys hand massages. His language is often really good and we will have a long and, sometimes, involved conversation. Another day his language makes very little sense, it varies from day to day.
He is quite happy in the home and does enjoy being with others. The unit he is in only caters for twelve residents which is ideal for him. He is getting to know some of the other residents many of whom and still operating at a higher level than he is.
