The care home for us! Really impressed with the one I have chosen for Mum.
Nice place and staff and....they have one of the sitting rooms decorated and furnished as a 50s/60s room.....okay I know you are much younger than me but they will update.
I asked the manager what sort of music they played for get togethers in this room.....If I'm on duty...he replied...it's The Beatles...but whatever takes your fancy.
Heavy metal...Luke Kelly....Rod Stewart?........
Of course...he said....though I am having trouble stopping two very elderly ladies who come in to help playing war time songs....Don't people realise that the people coming in here now were once teddy boys, mods and rockers.
Lord...I felt old.
He asked me to come and look at the pictures on corridor walls.....I remember the days when I would have been asked to look at etchings...Ah well.
Elvis...Beatles...Stones...Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn in a draught.
Such a change from the twee ones I have seen elsewhere...
So I have put our names down.....first floor...sharing.....okay? ☺x
It is, Minty...if she has to be anywhere....nice garden with a chicken coop which I hope she can enjoy as she always kept chickens...and quite a few frisky, elderly men....x
Sounds great, gness! Word of advice -write your own Care Plan now. My friends who work in Care, myself and my sister have all done ours. Don't want the kids pitching up with us in 40 years, saying, "Nah, she doesn't like chocolate." or anything equally hideous.
