Not one plumber in the video

Where are their own grandchildren?
Hope the residents tell them about having to sell their home and having their life savings raided to pay for it

It's pretty impossible to form a normal friendship with dementia patients in a care home. I'm just about to set of to one now. I know lots about some of the residents past history but for most of them every time I see them is like the first time and they've forgot everything about me and have no idea who I am.
This is better then the fake royal family
