There were small sheets of paper in each resident’s room, saying what their favourite things are, what they used to do, about their family and life, which was very touching for me to see the preservation of dignity throughout the facility. Although these write-ups were in everyone’s room it was as if there was not a human laying in that bed. It was like they were all mannequins and there was an indiscernible race, the focus was shifted from the individual to the completion of task at hand. Many care aides would have conversations about their weekend, or talk about the resident right in front of them. Some residents could hear and some could not, never the less,

Residential and personal care facilities provide supervision and assistance but not medical or nursing needs. These facilities services are not provided but licensed professionals but rather paraprofessionals. They avoid taking in individuals that have severe disabilities but will consider taking in individuals that have mild mental dysfunction (Shi & Singh, 2015, p. 400). The facilities range from basic to deluxe and the deluxe facilities are often paid out of pocket privately. Social security and other government funds can be used as the payment for these facilities for those on a fixed or limited income.
