LisaRee 0 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone. One of my female residents just lost her spouse of 60 yrs. They shared a room in our facility for the last three years. We always had a difficult time getting her to participate because she felt she needed to stay in the room and look after her husband, and of course, we respected her wishes on this issue. I'm afraid that now that he is gone she will decline quickly. Any ideas on careplanning on her? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
