Especially if its against their will.<BR/><BR/>My Gran moved in to a home a few years ago, and for the first few months did nothing but sulk. She adores it now though and it is true that being around folks of a same or similar age will probably have a very positive effect on your grandad. Just being around other people who have similar opinions & experiences can really help. Also the staff at these homes have probably dealt with this scenario many times before. I'm sure your dads right... grandad will be on the kareoke before you know it.<BR/><BR/>Take Care and Chin up.Uknittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845911160481252141noreply@blogger.com
