Residents at Homeland Extended Health Care were terrified when a group of carolers entered the institution full of revelry and opened up with song, leveling all with laughter within a few moments. "They were truly amazing," states the Green Wing Charge Nurse, Arlene S., who declined to give her full name, for fear of reprisals. "There were seven or eight individuals, young adults, and each one of them was singing in a different key and in a different time! What a performance! We were bowled over." She went on to say that she picked up the phone to warn the Pink Wing Charge Nurse, John, but it was already too late, as they were on their way down the hall before she could intervene.
"It was an amazing feat. I don't think anyone could repeat it," she gasped, exhausted by the ordeal. "Fortunately, it was all over in a few minutes." She put in that nursing homes are particularly vulnerable to this type of violent encroachment during the holiday season. Other aggressive acts this time of year are the attempts to poison the staff with sugary comestibles, especially chocolates, and being forced to watch the mechanical antics of toys dancing and singing festive tunes. The Charge Nurse added, "we will be relieved when this season is over and we can go back to our humdrum [if not humbug] routines."
