Mom stroked out at 67. Lived for 12 years at a full care facility. Passed away this August.
Two best experiences:
Brought some of her 3X5 recipe cards to the home and read them to her. OMG, she was so down with that. Every step of the process she was focused.
A very, very elderly woman in a wheel chair came into her room. Slowly crept over to Mom's rolling table for delivering food, etc. Snagged a micro Halloween sized Snickers off this table and I said, "Hey, You can't do that. That's my Mom's".
Elderly woman said "I hope you die"
As bizarre as it sounds, my Mom belly laughed. It was precious.
