Assessment Visit 6
2/5/11

    My dog nearly choked himself on his leash because he was so excited to get into the Avalon for our sixth pet visit. We arrived at the recreation room and I was sad to see that Laura was not there, but after I started going room to room I met Laura in the hallway. I then went from room to room with Laura and my dog Sidney. In our first room we meet a man who was “a bit hard of hearing” and had an extremely scratchy voice. After that we met Mr. Goodchild, a man with thick rimmed glasses and greasy white hair. Next, after Sidney walked towards it, we went to the Avalon where they were showing a movie to the 12 residents. I went around with Sidney while the residents were selecting their dinner from the three dishes. Then we went with three ladies, one of which who was from Rhode Island and taught them, after a long time of trying to, how to turn on electronic candles. After finally turning on her candle, the former Rhode Islander told us all about her trip there that day. I had a lot of fun on this trip to the Avalon. First of all, like usual, I really enjoyed making the residents happy. Also, I thought it very funny that the really old residents couldn’t even flip a switch. All in all, It was a great visit to the Avalon.
