Mom's care conference

Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Michael was sitting in the lobby when I arrived.  He told me that coffee time was 10:30.  Yay!
I went to find mom.  She was sleeping in a chair by the nurses' station.  I woke her up and took her for tea.  I got Shanta too.  Donna was no where to be found. Someone said she had appointment.
I went to the Resident Care Conference at 11:00.
My biggest concern was mom's weight gain.  Other than that, she seemed happy.  Also, we all noted that mom needed more cueing.  I also complained about the gate to the dog park being locked and the paper towel dispensers not working.  The locked gate was to prevent escapes. Mom participates in lots of activities and seems content.
I took mom for a pee before we went for lunch.  She was wearing pull-ups.
Mom only ate half her food at lunch.  Edward hardly ate anything.  Donna still wasn't back.  Jacquie joined us for a bit.  Peter passed away a couple of weeks ago.
After lunch, I took mom for a walk.  I showed her some photos and a video on my tablet.  Then, she said she was cold so we went back to her room.  I put the head set on her and took her out for another walk.  She was enjoying her music.  We went back to the room so that she could take another pee before the gardening activity, but she didn't pee at all.  The nurse came to check on the paper towel dispensers.  She said she would put in a work order.  I asked about the dispensers back in December.  Several times.  And it was during the gastroenteritis quarantine.
Donna was back.  She wasn't sure if she had eaten lunch or not, but her lunch was waiting for her in a tray by her bed.
I took mom to join the kale salad making activity (gardening).  Michael and Shanta were there too.
