The Hall doors were locked, and there was a fenced in area outside for their use. There were extra employees assigned to that Hall so they could be constantly aware of the location of each of their residents. The activities were planned for their diminished abilities. For example, singing and listening to music from the 1940s and 50s. She lived there happily for almost 5 years. Just before her 92nd birthday, she fell and broke her hip, and things went downhill from there. We were really pleased with the care she got there at the Alzheimer's Unit. I'm so glad you have found a good place for your MIL. <br />Lea<br />Lea's MenagerieLeahttp://www.leasmenagerie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
