Eventide Nursing Home

      Today we visited the Eventide Nursing Home near the college. It is a delightful place for older to stay. The workers here are great and friendly. She leaded us to the second floor and there was a huge birthday cake on the desk. Today is Dorthy, an old woman's 95 years old birthday. She seems to happy to see our visit. We said happy birthday to her and took a photo with her. Then we all have a seat on a different desk and play Bingo with the older. There were set at three older on the first desk I sat. A daughter and his husband were here to see her mother. Her mother's hearing seems likes bad. She must speak very close so she could hear. We talked with her mostly. Her mother didn't talk to us. Then we had a piece of cake and the game began. It was happy to see the smile on the older's face when I say hello to them. If they were happy because of my smile, it would be so perfect.
     This was the first time I played the Bingo. We should hear from the host to read the numbers and check out the number on our hands. It was funny and we could communicate with the older more easily. They might seem do not want to talk, but if you are willing to share your idea with them, they would be very happy. All we need is to be patient with them. They were old and ill so they cannot talk fast or could not hear correctly. I think it is a good place for them to spend their time and also for us to show our care for them.
