The residents have been stuck inside all year so far. So, the past week or two I've spent quite a bit of time taking them outside. I'll take one resident at a time outside for a walk or to simply sit on the porch. Many of them rarely get the chance to go out so when they do, they REALLY love it! Today I took a resident who has pretty severe dementia out...her responses to statements usually don't make much sense but when I took her out, we had a pretty-close-to-normal conversation. It's amazing what stimulation like that can do.
