He was unhappy that breakfast had not been delivered by 9:00. He had been told at move in the evening before that he needed to inform staff an hour before meal time whenever he wants to take a meal in bed rather than the dining room. He did not retain the information overnight, which is not surprising.

He is only ever going to be taking meals in bed from now on, so I asked whether he could have a standing order. They responded that they need to talk to him each meal to get his order. They weren't rude, but they were more interested in doing things their familiar way than in thinking about the needs of the client/patient/inmate.

We talked him down on Saturday. The formal hospice assessment went fine on Sunday. If he demands to give notice and move, Dan the broker can help him find a new place and can coordinate renting the UHaul and burly men. I will always be there for him at need. I am not driving 200 miles each way every other weekend to indulge his whims.
