Do a lot of charity work , this is dinner club , drop in , serve dinners, tea , clean up and as you can imagine I entertain , make em laugh with silly conversation , most volunteers are a bit softly softly politically correct or unconfident i don't do that , I used to do dementia days as well , but stuck up organiser put me off , treating them as patients through lack of confidence , didnt like me sitting with them for lunch and showing them up as the other helpers sat together on their own table .
have cooked in a dementia home before but greedy business bosses didn't like my approach , didn't mind me spending all of my wages on treat food for them , £2.75 food allowance for 3 meals cos they assumed it made no difference, I used to take fresh veg and things like joint of top quality beef and salmon , pay was £6/ hr ( 8 y ago ) 6 hr shift , I'd be there min 8 to treat them like they were in a hotel , befriended one chap , he wasn't too gar gone , family abandoned him , great sense of humour, after I left I'd pick him up on the pretence he I needed him for work , take him to a job , move a couple of empty bags about , perhaps sweep a room , then to mine for tea with the family and a half in a pub before back to his cell, bugger lived for 3 y and probably cost me a few grand but worth it

I'd got most of the regular names ready for the joke but only got cockneys done and the chief of the show stopped me , , some with dementia and no photos allowed , you were getting the bloke with the blue collar , he's single (y)
 
Anyway, what's all this s**t? Everyone sending me messages, who was that weirdo that wrote on his hand the other day?

Or to put it another way, long-term grooming.
 
That is such a lovely thing to do, it can be a very humble experience. Wish there are more people like you doing this (I used to help in a soup kitchen)
