    I just wanted to say, I am HOH completely deaf in left ear. I am also a cna. I love working in long term facilities/memory care facilities /assisted living facilities. I was the only person on staff who could communicate fluent in asl. We had several deaf and HOH residents. They would all call me and their house supervisors would call me because I could communicate with them better than other staff could. Some staff learned basic signs or at least finger spelling. Even slow finger spelling is better than writing notes. All of my deaf and HOH residents would get together once a week for coffee. It was a nice time. I will tell you, some of my favorite residents have been deaf or HOH. All of my favorite residents suffered from some type of dementia. One form or another. Being a HOH cna has really opened up my eyes. We need more deaf and HOH facilities. These wonderful people likely spend all their time in their rooms or isolated from everyone else because, they can not communicate effectively to the other residents. Train staff in basic signs or finger spelling. Offer an incentive if you must for learning it. It is such a beautiful culture and language.
