Nursing Home

By Nick Gilmore

Mum was sound asleep this afternoon. Snoring loudly and absolutely unresponsive.

She’d missed the live entertainment as, fortunately, did I. Audrey seemed to have enjoyed it though and was very keen to tell me all about it.

The first time the ‘Entertainer’ was due a visit while Mum was there, The Manager alerted, or warned, me he was coming.

“I think he’s absolutely terrible but the residents love him.”

Author’s Note

My Mum is in a nursing home in a small village in the Thames Valley. The photo is not of the home. I used an AI image generator to give the reader some idea of the home she’s in.

All, some or maybe even none (you’ll never know!) of the names have been changed to protect privacy and hide real identities. If you think you recognise someone then let me know and I’ll edit the post or remove it entirely
