Resthome residents (2 of 4): Movie.

At the resthome, it's very interesting to see how residents' abilities vary day-to-day.

For example, one very old resident has reduced verbal capabilities, and he doesn't really talk or do activities, though he'll have short interactions.

The other week, though, I saw him in the resthome foyer and he said something about "six-thirty," which was the time that the movie was starting that night, and then later another assistant said that he said that he was going to the movie that night.

And he did!

I peeked in, and he was there, though he had conked out in his seat, and was leaning to one side like he always does when he falls asleep in his chair.

It was pretty amazing to see, that he had figured out what time the movie was, and went.  I was so happy for him.
