When I would go visit Olive I would have to pass numerous rooms where seniors were sitting in their chairs begging for someone to talk to them. PCA's and nurses told me that their familes would abandon them there and not visit. I thought it was cruel what families did.
After Olive passed away I stopped volunteering. It was very hard for me to see all those sad faces while walking to Olive's room.
