My experience as a nursing home resident has been a positive one

As it is Nursing Homes Week this week, I wanted to tackle the misconception that often appears in the media that we in nursing homes ‘sit around in a circle gazing into space’.

I lived in my home for many years and finally ‘wound up’ here in Nazareth House, when my memory clock stopped ticking.

All was going well at home until I forgot to eat breakfast and dinner and it ended up with my tea times being spent relaxing in bed or on the couch lost in a book. I always loved reading and had now become “fiction” myself as I was totally off the rails and living in another world!
