Resident #48's husband stated, A couple of weeks ago they had a movie night and when I found out Resident #82 was not invited and sat out in the hall looking in at the movie I raised a fit about that. Resident #48's husband stated, the residents had nothing in the building to stay occupied so I bought the 30 puzzles for residents laying here in the day room for them to have something to do. c) Resident #21 An interview with Resident #21, on 07/29/19 at 2:10 PM, revealed, the activities provided by the facility is not always enjoyable when other residents disrupt the group.
