Working with Seniors at an Assisted Living can be quite interesting at times. My job is to try and get the residents connected with the computer any way I can. I try and get to know them and learn what they like to do. Some Seniors are easier to engage and some want no part of it.
Earlier this week a resident I’ve been trying to get on the computer finally came looking for me. While spending a few minutes with him I googled his name and the name of their furniture store they owned and that really peaked his interest but was it enough to keep him coming back for more?? Later on that day he wanted some help with his computer in his apartment. Somehow it had gone offline. While fixing it I see some porn images on there but I’m moving around quickly and trying to open up new tabs to make sure we are back online because he is standing right behind me. It was too funny.
Hermann, my little porn loving resident is there because his wife has Alzheimer’s. They are both in their early to mid eighty’s and obviously his mind is still going strong. Now I know why Hermy never wants to leave his apartment and is always telling his wife to go find something to do with some of the other resident’s.
Just another typical day at work-lol!
