June 23 2012. As I left my room June 19 I saw Mr M in his motor scooter , followed by his daughter on foot. The were on their way to the noon meal. Mr M ran his motor scooter into the wall. This man may have an affect of Huntingtons or Parkinsons disease, because he is noticeably unable to control his scooter. On the following day he backed the scooter into an empty chair at the table behind him, knocking the chair into a lady dining next to it. Then I learned, that two weeks prior to this, he had run the scooter into little Miss S getting out of the elevator, sending her to the doctor with a n injured leg. Ms S reported the injury to the bookkeeper ! but did not notify her attorney. This is a frightful situation, this big man has one eye missing and not in control of that motorized machine.
A lady down the hall sat on the floor in her room a long time after falling but we heard her banging her walker against the door and we "rescued her" . The alarm button she wears did not work! I think I shall find out how to get her one of those emergency Tracfones.
I had a chance to meet the two men working in the newly installed basement therapy room and I enjoyed the conversation. One said to me, of all the institutions he visits on behalf of medicare, this one is the best: the big windows in the dining room and in the atrium let in more light, and the people here are friendlier. This is good to hear In many other homes, the floor plan is identical, and even the pictures on the wall are the same!
