We were at Peacehaven this morning and it was tough speaking to a group of elderly men with dementia. They didn't seem to respond, I just played my concertina and both of us sang and sang and tried to get them to clap. A few did respond.
As we will not be visiting the Home next Tuesday because of the visit of the General, we decided to do Level 2 and Level 3. Residents here were more responsive and a number said to us "We have not seen you for a long time." Time drags for some these folk and even if we were to visit them tomorrow we' ll get the same remark. They love visitors.
It was a full morning for us, but it did us good sharing fellowship with the staff, nurses and residents.
