Once again, "As The Assisted Living Facility Turns"
Today's chapter of "As The Assisted Living Facility Turns" begins in the dining room, home for many of our adventures. Seems one of the residents was telling another one, at breakfast, about how horribly they were treated by two other residents a few days earlier. The President overheard this conversation (he could not help but overhear it, even though he was seated on the far side of the room) and decided to look into it.
Investigation revealed that the first incident in this sequence of events took place when the resident voicing a complaint at breakfast had gone into the dining room; during second seating lunch, to ask another resident if they wanted to accompany them to the memorial service for a third resident who died a few weeks ago. According to the President's confidential sources, the resident was accosted by another resident who then asked the Activities Director to let this person know they weren't allowed to be in the room during second seating.
But when the President talked to the two residents who were actually involved in confronting this person on that date, the story was quite different. Both said that the Head Chef was the one who confronted the resident and informed them they aren't welcome in the dining room to chat with others when it isn't there assigned seating. If they eat on first seating, don't come in during second seating, and vice versa.
The Facility Director told the President quite a different story. She is of the mind that the residents can go into the dining room anytime they want, except when it is closed for cleaning. So the President is going to have to facilitate a conversation between the Director and the Head Chef, to clear up this apparent conflict in policy.
The complaining resident had also claimed that they were the victim of multiple utterances of profanity by "a scary person". There is no evidence to substantiate this claim.
Then one resident told the President that two of the residents involved in this "confrontation" just live to complain about anything and everything and without having things to complain about, they'd get bored. The President could only smile and nod his assent.
As we continue to profile certain colorful residents, today we take a look at someone we will call "R". R is easily recognizable because he wears the same pair of pants and shirt 6 to 7 days per week. In fact, the President can't remember seeing him wear anything other than that one single pair of pants and non-matching shirt. One resident told the President that it is such a struggle to get R to change his clothes, that the staff takes them wheneve they are assisting him to bathe, for a quick laundering.
