NURSING HOME VISITS
26 Mar 2011
We were able to spend time with the veterans we’ve come to know over the years, such as retired Marine Isaac Best, who was the first one out the door to greet us at Carolina River Nursing Home. Please note, Britthaven has changed the names of two of their homes to Premier and Carolina River, respectively.
I know this type of visit may be hard for some, as these older veterans in some cases may be kind of pitiful in their physical/mental state, but I know most of them really appreciate us visiting them and look forward to us returning. I spoke with 91 year old WWII veteran, Bruce Barbee (he did most of the talking), and was very impressed at the stories he could tell and he wasn’t bashful to invite us to come by and visit him anytime.
