B
Uh-huh.

And it seems, uh, I mean the, the environment there, I don't know too much about it but it, it seems nice enough. Uh, it, it's hard, at least half of the residents I would say are not, not mentally sound. So it's hard to tell how much of that rubs off on those who are struggling to r, to retain, uh, clarity, say, uh, you know.
B
From the lack of stimulation, you mean.
A
Yeah. Well I, I don-, I don't know. We, we also, my wife and I, uh, uh, volunteer to go to a, uh, nursing home that's just a mile from our house. We, uh, she goes more often than I. We used to go once a month, once every two months to visit some of the patients there. And we'd take, we have a two year old son and so we, sometimes we'd take him with us. And, uh, there I would say it's the same thing. It's, it's a nice, uh, relatively nice environment but again, um, it must be depressing for the people who, who are, who are just e-, e-, essentially not able to take care of themselves in their own house but, but, certainly, uh, certainly have ar, ar, are, have retained all of their, uh, mental skills and so on. It's, must be depressing to, to walk, walk the halls and see, an-, and see all these other people who really don't know where they are.
