February 2, 2013: 1 hour

Today I served dinner to the residents in Assistant Living. There was this one lady who was very nice. She still remembered my name which really shocked me. It was also nice that she still remembered my name because it means that the disease isn't as severe for her.

As I was clearing the tables, a lady in a wheelchair said she needed to go to the bathroom. She asked me to push her to the restroom, so I did. And when we got there, she asked me to wait outside. I said okay. But then she told me that she needed help with getting on the toilet. As she was getting up out of her wheelchair, I panicked and got a caretaker as soon as possible. The caretaker helped her and I went back to clear the tables.

The next step is to observe how Alzheimer's affects a person. I have a totally of 17 hours.
