[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your dad liked tinkering with things, my FIL loved building models when he was older. Something to do that felt like an accomplishment. He had been in WWII and the Korean War, so he built planes and ships. I think the hardest part of IL is giving up total freedom because while it is independent, they would come in every morning and wake my grandmother up. It was weird. [/quote] That's because your grandmother failed to hit the "I'm still alive" button residents are required to press before a certain time to let the staff know that they're still alive. At my mother's place, an entire team of EMTs shows up -- and breaks in -- if she forgets to push the button. She only forgot once.[/quote]
