My mother and father both ended their days in long term care facilities, one with physical and the other with mental ailments. Shortly thereafter, my husband entered a care facility and never came home again. He died there four years later. For more hours than most, I’ve sat in those hard visitor seats watching the comings and goings of staff, residents, and families. Some were appealing, others appalling.
Fun House Chronicles is the story of one woman who enters a nursing home, and how it affects her family, the staffers, the other residents, and the woman herself. There is sorrow here, of course. But you will also find humor and hope.
It is my great desire that this story gives comfort and information to anyone faced with a nursing home for self or loved ones. It includes many of the things I wish I had known before my own journey began. I wish you well.
