Today I spent 2 hours with the Assisted Living residents and my mentor.
Most of our time was consumed by our scenic drive. 7 residents, my mentor, and I all drove down to see the large houses by St. Francis Woods in San Francisco. We all had a good time as we browsed houses, sang songs, and joked around about which house we would buy. The residents looked so happy just by being able to get out and sight see.
When we came back, I helped unload all the residents and I started calling people to go down to the lobby for happy hour. Every Friday from 3:30-4:30, residents are allowed to drink (alcohol) and watch live entertainment in the lobby. We had a lovely performance of live music by a trio. During happy hour I talked to residents, served appetizers, and danced with the residents.
I had a fun visit with them today. My hours are coming to a close. 4 more hours and that's all I'll ever be seeing of them again. I hoping for more good memories for my last visit.
