8:00am, our day start with Maureen chatting quietly to herself, Marie and I went in and asked her if she wanted to get going, Maureen gave us a “YES”, so we got supplies ready for a nice warm bed bath.

We cleaned and changed from a heavy wet diaper, once the typical lotions were applied, a fresh diaper was put on and then dressed for the day, sling put in place and transferred to the Geri chair for breakfast.


9:00am, Once brought out to the kitchen and set in her usual spot, Marie brushed Maureen’s hair and put on her glasses while I got her banana for her. I gave her thyroid pill with so applesauce before the oatmeal, banana, 1/2 cup of prune juice and full cup of water were consumed.

The other morning meds were taken with applesauce and a spoonful of honey followed, then after about 5 minutes, oral care was performed.


10:15am, exercises to keep Maureen’s arms and legs loose were done, her posture was near perfect the entire morning, once the wedge pillows were put in place on either side of the chair.


10:45am, time for a change … we cleaned and changed from a medium wet diaper to a fresh one and when we finished, we left Maureen on her left side and supported her with the green wedges, for an hour’s rest, off of her back side.
