Dad is in River Bend Retirement Community. When you went into the memory unit itself, each of the individual rooms, they put different siding on them to make it look like they're a different house. Everyone's house looks different from the outside, or their room looks different from the outside. The common area in the middle had 30 foot ceilings in them. They were painted blue and white to look like clouds. So, the whole place was just open and bright. They had their different seating area. There was a kind of stone fireplace that kind of went up through the middle. And I'm saying fireplace loosely because I can't believe they'd actually have a fireplace on that, in the memory unit part thing, it's just the looks of it. So it just made it look homey. They had couches and stuff sitting around that area. They had a different section where they could go into, in my view, a big walk-in closet with the couch in there. And there were pictures of the animals on the walls and stuff like that. And they said they use that when somebody is getting agitated or something. As far as one lady, for example at 3:00, she always had to worry about getting her kids on the bus. And so then they'd take her in there and then they'd distract her by talking about the animals. And like, "I lived on a farm. Did you live on a farm? Did you have any pets," that type of thing, and that seemed to get the lady past that. And just very helpful, very knowledgeable.
