HI. Leticia!

Is there someway you could be more specific using her history? For instance, we have a doctor in our memory unit. We made him his own binder for charting and he "does rounds" with our nurse every day. If she was a teacher, maybe she could grade papers or prepare packets for her students? If she was a mom, maybe you could set up a nursery where she could "babysit"? Just a thought!
