Supportive physical environment
“He seems very happy at Myrtle Cottage, if he could he’d probably
stay there all the time. He brightens up considerably, now that’s a good
recommendation for you, as soon as he hits the door, he goes through, he brightens up and he talks, he
sings and he helps the other people and he can’t find his way around his own home, but he can go there and
help them.”

Supportive emotional environment
“They do their job, they’re just so lovely, they replace the love and
the care that I think us as the main, the closest relatives have sometimes, we don’t have the time and they give love and affection and interest and
enthusiasm that we don’t, we’re so drained that we’re unable to
give.”
