2020-06-10 05:17:55 PM tracichambers like over a month ago residents got scabies in memory ward. when i asked about it, i was told that wasn't what it was, then i saw for myself the diagnosis in their charts. i asked again if we need to take precautions. got told no, then it was all over the freaking place a few weeks later... i am so unhappy there
2020-06-10 05:18:16 PM tracichambers no alcohol for me right now
2020-06-10 05:18:33 PM tracichambers some of the residents would love a glass of wine or a beer, tool.

I'm guessing

2020-06-11 06:17:44 PM yadi1 We did a bottle water and added a the stick of tea wrapped on the bottle water, leave some in ice and others out, having options other than plain water once in awhile is a treat for them.
