Recently I was doing a Memory Care facility.
The lone aid assigned to the room left to assist someone to the bathroom.
Then two of the residents became "wanderers".
One was going through every cabinet and drawer in the room.
The other crawled on the floor expressing an interest to the feet on my KB stand and Mic stand.
These folks did not respond to any of my requests to sit down and enjoy the music.
It was a small room and I walked out into the hall and gave a loud whistle which got the
attention of several ppl at a nursing station about 50 feet away.
An aid came and took control of the wanderers...and I admired the gentle way they handled the matter.
I finished the show and had a heart-to-heart with one of the managers...and told them: No aids. No music.

I have been turning down Memory Care jobs for several years...but took this one to fill in for a friend.
