As a random story, I helped to move an elderly relative into an assisted living center a few years ago. He was hospitalized so we had to move him without his involvement. We were at the assisted living center getting his furnishings set up and one of the nurse/orderly people came in and started talking to my wife.
She said, "He looks really good", which confused me because the relative hadn't been to the place yet. He was still in the hospital. But I thought maybe there was a photo involved or something. The woman chatted with my wife more and once again said, "He looks good". And my wife said, "That's not him. That's my husband."
WTF? I'm in my 50s and in pretty good shape. I was wearing a half-marathon shirt that I'd just run. And she thought I was moving in?
But the key lesson here is that maybe I can just show up at an assisted living facility and get a shot when the elderly residents start getting them.
