I met Phill Isaacs this morning (23 Feb) at the Seven Hills Nursing Home, to visit Steve Perrin, who has been there for about the past month.
It seems he had a couple of bad falls at home – where he has been living by himself – so the family collectively decided he should go into care.
The family has a history of owning and operating various nursing homes, and Pat’s daughter (Collette) had been managing the facility at Seven Hills, hence the decision for him to go there. Pat is also there, and has been for the past few years.
Steve is in good shape, and accepting of the need for him to be there, even though missing his glass of wine or two!!
Phill and I also visited Pat, who is suffering advanced dementia! She said she recognised our faces, but I don’t think she really knew just who we were! Very sad to see her in that state.
We passed on good wishes of the Club to both Steve and Pat.
