Make a dream come true!

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Weekly outings have been so important. Son and father spending time together. Shopping, sight-seeing… and so much more. They come back exhausted but happy to have spent the time doing something together. They generally finish their outing with a late lunch before coming home. We hear the “tales” of the day – the good, the bad and the laughable. Both grateful for the visit and time spent catching up and exploring new things.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Independent decisions. Making choices and following through on his decisions has been a significant support to his well-being. Whether it’s choices for meals, what to wear, when to take a bath or shower or go to bed, etc. Even making a change to what might have been a part of his regular routine may be in his best interest and safety. All done this past week with blessings from all of us as he decided to re-structure a couple of areas in his routine. He’s generally open to suggestions, however, the final decision is his as long as his safety isn’t jeopardized.
