It is tough for him to remember specific timeframes &amp; do mental math. When ask how long he has been retired he said \u201cI am 77 &amp; retired at 65 so what is that about 20 years?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Memorable Quote from Interview: \u201c<\/strong>I like being active &amp; having a routine.

(2) Ronald was still fairly-capable even after being in assisted living for 7 years, this is perhaps because many of the activities he used before retirement are replicated in his day to day routine at the nursing home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Used to play Baseball &amp; Garden<\/li>\n<li>Favorite Activities: Hanging out with Friend\u2019s, Watching TV, &amp; Jigsaw Puzzles<\/li>\n<li>Routine\n<ul>\n<li>Wake up 6am<\/li>\n<li>Breakfast<\/li>\n<li>Watch TV till dinner time (Watch NCIS: Mark Harmon, NCIS LA)<\/li>\n<li>Goes to bed shortly after dinner at ends (7pm-8pm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Likes writing jokes &amp; poems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Environment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Morningside Nursing Home Facility (Been there 3 months)\n<ul>\n<li>Had prior been at Signature Healthcare assisted living for 7 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Daughter also works in the home (Head of Nursing)<\/li>\n<li>Mid-afternoon<\/li>\n<li>In welcome area of nursing home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interactions:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Had shaking hands, but a firm hand shake<\/li>\n<li>Noted that he liked Morningside, while he has been there<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Objects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sitting in Wheel Chair<\/li>\n<li>Wearing his favorite team, The Chicago Cub\u2019s, World Series Championship T-Shirt<\/li>\n<li>Snicker\u2019s Bar\n<ul>\n<li>During the interview one of the nurses brought Ronald his daily treat<\/li>\n<li>This is something that he looks forward to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Users:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ronald Lee Cannon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interviewed, Veteran, Ronald Lee Cannon who is in the higher extreme of the retired age population.
