The Memory Floor - GEOFFREY ANSEL AGRONS

After over four years in the San Francisco Bay area, I returned to the east coast in 2015 to assist in the care of my aging parents.

Separately, each spent the end of their lives in facilities dedicated to caring for residents with dementia, most commonly the Alzheimer's type. They received excellent support from a dedicated and compassionate staff, and each, in turn, entered hospice until their death.
