Today, we visited Broak Oak Nursing Home. For me, it was my second visit, in which we looked at doing a RISE project on a little garden area they want to redo. We looked around two of the four units and met some of the patients – and I seriously just want to take them all out for an awesome time! The first unit we went to, Stanley, was for people with physical illnesses, so there were many frail people around, people asleep or just out of it. There's a fellow in there who is due to turn 100 in a couple of months and another who's a rugby fanatic – he used to play himself and when he heard about our assistant team leader, Tim, being a ex-Saints player, he got quite excited!
