Sandy Ward  > Family > Emmet at Muir Senior Care
On January 10, 2008, Emmet moved into the Muir Senior Care home in Martinez, CA. I visited him on January 11, 16, and 17. Additional photos added after April visit (Ken, Don, and I).

Sandy Ward > As I arrived on January 11, Emmet was already outside. He's quite quick in the wheelchair, moving it with his feet.  [Staff have since added a security alarm to his wheelchair, so they'll know if he heads out a door. They were impressed by how well he learned the layout of the facility, and his way to the main door, in less than one day.]

Sandy Ward > Lunch in Emmet's room, January 11, 2008.   [On later visits, he was eating in the dining room.]
Sandy Ward > Emmet is able to pull himself up out of his wheelchair, using the doorframe and pulling with his arms.  A staff member came along and offered to walk with him.  They will add Emmet to the list of people for the "Walkathon" after lunch. They have a "Walkathon Parade" each day!
Sandy Ward > Dr. Sylvia Connolly (Kaiser) came in to see Emmet just as I was leaving.
