                              T HE UNLIMATE EXPERIMENT

Stewart lived alone in a grand old house.  His wife died some years ago and he still deeply mourned her.  His only child, a son near 70, lived nearby and would visit when he could.  Stewart would have liked to see his two grandchildren and great grandchildren more, but they had their own lives and families.  He cherished the rare visits they managed.  A nurse’s aide kept watch over him and tended to his daily needs.

When Virginia began managing Stewart’s care one month ago, he was given three months to live.  “I’ll spend my final days at home,” he told his doctor.

Virginia was assigned to Stewart’s case and, during her first visit, she told him, “I’m having a hospital bed delivered today to make you more comfortable.  What bedroom do you want it set up in?”

“Oh, my dear,” he answered, “I want to spend my last days with my very close friends.  Set it up in my study.”
