Does no one consider that feeling powerless over their lives is WHY so many people get addicted to alcohol and other drugs?!
"Turning one's life over" to another entity is abdicating personal responsibility and infantilising the addict. This only forces the addict to replace dependence on one thing with another (the group), AND provides an easy way out of having true growth and healing as a person.

that would be the Chair Gymnastics area.

My sister works at a group home...she mentioned shower chairs...I'm NOT gonna ask, though the accessibility likely does involve a group shower room...

Even if those hooks were indeed for curtains, it looks like the shower chair crowd got less privacy than those using the retrofit stalls.

now, THIS green resembles nausea. Eww.

No kids, just a silly shepherd dog who is at the moment rolled up in a ball on the couch.

Regarding those with Alzhemir's and Parkinson's disorders...I wonder what happened if any of them had symptoms of thinking everyone was staring or other paranoia.

steam heat in the dorm where I spent my first half of college. No hissing, just pipes that loudly went Clunk-Bang-Thud in the night.

Sad thing about murals painted right on the walls-can't take it with you.

...it might have been comfy when it was the newest thing on the market. I don't think dental chairs these days are made to resemble upended Alice in Wonderland caterpillars.

The wall in this shot is what needs wallpaper!!

Uhmm, wow..?? At least the current ones are all plastic with clips or magnets and a person only needs to put up with it for 1/2 hour in the salon! I would not have slept well at all with a headful of that junk.

"spray laquer"?? Figures. Only horrendous beehive clown hair would justify aerosol cans of that stuff invented for use on one's head.

it would be really funny to encounter an incident where chairs actually did fall through a floor!

Not bad looking. I think the blue tile is a lesser of aesthetic evils compared to the brown and green (or orange and yellow!) varieties.
