John

Those of us who become residents of this home build a large family-type relationship, with all the variations one can expect. Allowing for each other’s idiosyncrasies, a visitor may be a little astonished to observe the care and concern some of us take on when we see the other’s needs. We with special observations from the inside have been astonished, continually, at the tender love and care given to those of our number whose hands no longer find their mouth; the tender management of care.
