That's the word you could use to describe the eighty plus woman
living in the aging facility. There would have to be a few more
adjectives added to really do her justice. How about youthful? Fun
loving? Adorable? Life of the party? Saintly? Yes, those and more could
have accurately described Fay Sunnenshine.
But let's start from the beginning.
When
Fay's children accompanied her for a preliminary visit to the aging
services facility, the admission staff was doubtful. Here was a smiling
woman that clearly presented a fall risk. The claim control department
had a hard time allowing her residency.
It was equally as hard not allowing her resident status in the nursing home, however.
"You've got to get to know me," said Fay, as the top brass voiced
their opposition. "See my smile? I'll get the entire population of Green
Meadows Aging Center to smile the same way!"
You needed an
uncommonly hard heart to debate that argument. So the professionals at
Green Meadows conferred with their insurance agency who did their
homework exceedingly well.
"Although Mrs. Sunnenshine does indeed
pose more of a tendency as a fall claim risk, you've got good coverage,"
the agent said most assuredly. "You're connected with one of the top
insurance providers nationwide. Use their guidance for fall prevention
and claim management and you should be fine with this new resident."
Fay
was admitted and sure enough, the atmosphere at Green Meadows began to
shift from the doldrums to a highly uplifted atmosphere! Fay's jolly
laughter filled the halls and dining room as she mesmerized her growing
audience of wheelchair occupants and walker-walkers.
One notable
story put even the staff members in stitches, and it illustrated the
real stuff Fay was made of. Hailing from inner-city New York, Fay moved
to a small NJ town in her middle years. Accustomed to standing up for
her rights, as well as those of any innocent bystander who happened to
be within her range and under attack by the local hoodlums, it seemed
that nobody ever was able to fully take advantage of her. As an unsavory
type of hooligan thought he could have an easy time with little Miss
Fay, she proved him decisively wrong.
