An interesting perspective of a resident in a long care facility. The patients were treated with dignity and respect. I wish every facility could be run like this fictional center in real life.

4.5 * Refreshing take on what it is like to be in high dependency care unable to speak. Also on care of those suffering dementia and end of life care. Heart warming and sometimes funny. Perfect timing for those who have a family member in care as I do. But does not take into account Covid and not being able to see our relatives in care and especially not being able to be with them when they die.

Wonderful book for caregivers or anyone who has loved an elderly and or  informed person. It made me laugh, cry, and feel wonderful at the end. Read it!
