2019-06-18 06:37:07 PM karlyz In a skilled facility it can get a little crazy doing assessments. But I give them choices .. and then verify with the family members. like what did you do for a living? If they don't know.. I say Were you a teacher, nurse, office worker,etc?
2019-06-18 06:37:08 PM tammyrlove110618 that is showing you care about her
