A little aid to memory

Shelf outside a room at the retirement home

Shelf outside a room at the retirement home

The parent of a friend of mine has moved into a retirement home. Diminished memory often comes with age.

And so the building was designed with these small shelves outside the door to each suite. So, even if you can't remember the suite number, perhaps you'll remember that the shelf has Chinese pots, or birds, or some other personal momento.

A clever and thoughtful solution to what must be a common problem.
