Sunrise today reminds me of my first six months here that began two years ago this month.
Life is at last ‘coming alive’ again, with regular daily arrivals of visitors, even children.
I am sure those fortunate to have visitors are pleased and relieved and the carers are, too, but most of the residents seem resigned to just existing, keeping going but not really aware of or caring about their limited existence.
It sounds so negative and so different from my views but it is evident and it increases my admiration for the patience and kindness of the carers about whom I have written.
They probably have some concern because of the end of Sunrise in the takeover by Care UK.
This will take some months and the management here, led by Sara and Virgil is to remain the same but there are bound to be some differences
We shall see.
