The nursing home we go to has a sectioned off unit for alzhiemer/demenia patients , that unit stays lock. They gather to two other units in the dining room for us to attend and then they always ask us to go to the locked unit. They get very little visitors and would enjoy us coming.

I have always been concerned about this and have spoken with the activity director of my concerns in that alzhiemer /demenia type patients could also be startled by clowns coming in. But they make me feel guilty about not going is, so we went. Well we went in and were directed to the dining room, One lady saw us got excited and started to come to us and fell. She was on the other side of the room, I called for help [not going to go into the lack of response by staff] we went back to a group in the hall and spoke with them and sang one song and then left. It's not that I want to leave that group out, I just feel like things like this could happen, and now it has.
