Assisted Living: Melting Pot in a Fishbowl

Imagine roughly 37 nationalities, 200 plus people mostly over the age of 70, a cat with cancer, an energetic large dog in the prime of his life, and a company in a state of disarray, and what do you have? Assisted living in a metropolitan area of the USA circa 2010. For over 10 years now (most of that while working "outside the home") I have been a caregiver for the very young, the middle aged, and the old. This blog will share my stories.....I hope with humor, compassion, and understanding for what all of us eventually face....being a caregiver or being cared for. And dying.....that momentous transition from this life to whatever you believe comes next. Join me as I recreate some of the most memorable moments of these years. They could be yours, too.
