Today I played games with the residents in Life's Neighborhood, read them a short story, and asked them trivia questions. We played Hedbanz, a game where you guess what your card is on top of your head. It was very difficult to play with most of the residents because most of them don't like to speak.Only about two of the residents tried playing. I had to tell one of them what they were and the other resident guessed what she was. After one game, the entertainment came in which was a guy singing. I had to sing along with the rest of the residents. Some residents sang, others just danced to the music, and others just sat there waiting for it to be over. After the entertainment left, I read them stories and asked them easy questions. Two people were paying attention and contributing to answer the questions. They got most of the questions right and I cheered them on.
After a while, I went to Assistant Living and helped them serve lunch. The residents can be very demanding, but some can be nice. I helped clean the tables and fold the napkins.
I went back to Life's Neighborhood to see if they needed any help. When I got there, one of the residents was on the phone talking to someone. However, another resident started to yell at her, telling her to get off the phone. He grabbed the phone from her and started to walk away from it with the chord still attached to the phone. The people who worked there broke them up immediately. It was really scary seeing how the residents can react in such manner.
I was really glad to help Aegis with serving lunch and trying to play with the residents. Next, I will help serve dinner to the residents and try to learn more about taking care of them.
