Sometimes they get confused when we dress up, but, that's not the intention. This is National Nursing Home Week, so, as part of the festivities, we've done a different dress up theme everyday this week. Staff mainly do it, but, the residents are welcome to join in too. We advertise it a week or two ahead of time, so, it's not like we all show up dressed weird without warning, but, that doesn't help much when people have dementia. Me looking like a woman, with long hair, but, speaking like a man, did puzzle some of them, but, the majority thought it was cute/funny.
