While waiting for the Meals on Wheels truck today to bring us the meals from the central kitchen, one of the other volunteer drivers told us of a wonderful small family home care provider who had just taken over a home with 5 elderly men who were just a few inches this side of the grave. They rarely spoke, walked, or even moved much. The place was very depressing. After checking their health records, the provider decided what the gentlemen needed most was to get out, get some exercise, and see something besides the same old walls every day. Being a creative provider, he decided to take the group out to lunch - at Hooters.
According to first hand reports, after just a few outings, the men were actively talking to each other, asking for their best clothes to wear for their luncheon outings, and really looking forward to visiting the "nice ladies" at the restaurant. The provider showed that there was still a lot of living left in the old gentlemen.
Hats off to the care provider and the nice ladies at Hooters!
Now that's what I call alternative medicine.
