Hello Jennifer, I found my way to Mum's Respite Hospital and had lovely afternoon with her. I managed not to get lost. A little bit tense when I arrrived and couldn't find a car space. Ended up parking in a disability space. I had my walking stick with me as I did not know how far I would have to walk and if steps were involved. I was buzzed in t the entrance and I immediatley told the receptioninst where I was parked nd pointed to my car. She said, "No Problems." Then she showed me how to sign in as a vistor. It was all digital even taking a photo of me and reading my temperature. Then she led me to Mum's room saying she was sorry but it was a bit of a walk. It was however not as far as I walk for my morning coffee. She spotted Mum in the Dining room chatting to a couple of ladies. "Your Mum will show the rest of the way. And Mum did. Her private room is lovely with an ensuite. Whilst we were sitting and chatting a care worker came in to do memory test for Mum. Whiklst that was happening my phone told me to get up and walk. I did and headed further down the corridor and soon discovered a small lounge with a large avairy with 2 birds happily chirping away. I then wandered back to Mum's room just as she was going to the loo so I stepped out again to give her some privacy. I noticed that her neighour directly across from her had a sign on the door alerting visitors and workers that there was a cat in the room and to be careful. CRICKET the cat with a photo. As I was standing there smiling at the sign a worker stopped and chatted to me. She told me that they have a number of residents with pets. Me, "Umm, how is the litter dealt with?" She told me that they have to be able to deal with it. I went back to Mum's room and told her about the birds and her opposite neighbour with the cat. Mum instantly responded, "How do they get rid of the litter?" I didn't have an answer. Mum passed the memory test and that didn't surprise me. I managed to find my reverse journey home without stress. Now it us bed time for me. Enjoy your day.
