My next house assignment

Tomorrow, I'll be starting a two-three month rotation in the Respite house. Respite is an interesting place. It's a kind of a cross between a youth hostel and a nursing home. Most rooms have normal beds, but some have hospital type beds. All have a dresser and lamp. Some are double occupancy for friends or family to be together. All consumers have some type of physical or intellectual disability. They stay for a few hours to a few weeks. The age range is 6 yrs to 86 years. And there can be up to 8 overnight plus 8 hourly consumers in the house at a time. Staffing is different too. For any time there is a consumer in a wheelchair or 4 or more consumers, there is at least one other staff member. :) As July/August are two of the busiest months of the year....there should always be a couple of us there. :) I'm looking forward to it.
