So the first thing we should probably get into is because everybody always wants to know

the Bob update.

And I mean a lot has transpired since last week.

So first of all I want to say thank you to everyone who's reached out and sent me detailed

information on my text line, like just sharing with me where your parent, where you had

them or friends or family members, so many of you who work at facilities or in the industry

I should say so helpful, so incredibly grateful for all the text messages that I received

after last week's episode.

Got a lot of good intel and I feel like I need to share that with those of you who might

be in the same situation and just share with you what I learned in case it's helpful

to you.

Okay so here's what I can tell you.

Memory care for most facilities, like where it's a, you know, a nice big home, probably

a franchise, memory care in most facilities, they are required for it to be locked down,

meaning the residents aren't able to leave unless they have a code, it is from what I've

heard from most of you.

In most instances, I would say like 95% of the instances, it's pretty bleak.

Yes, they have activity scheduled, but people are pretty far advanced, it's pretty bleak,

people are very advanced stages where they can't feed themselves, they can't bathe by themselves,

they can't, in many instances.

They need a lot of help.

Perfectly stated, they need a lot of help, they're pretty out of it.
