“One resident had aphasia and had pretty much lost his ability to speak. It’s very frustrating for him, but he wanted help in celebrating his wedding anniversary. On the anniversary date, when his wife came to visit, residents and staff were all gathered around the room, carrying a banner the residents had made—with our resident in the center, holding a bouquet of flowers and a card for his wife. We even helped him sign his name on the card—something he hadn’t been able to do in years!”
