Ever played Bingo?: A visit to the Kissito Nursing Home

By Stacy Nakintu

Interestingly, the Kissito Nursing Home was named after the owner’s dog.  I was quite curious about the name since it had some kind of similarity to my relatives’ last name.

At the nursing home, I met Billy, a quiet man who enjoys company, is very friendly, enjoys playing bingo, and plays the game of checkers by his own rules.

I got a chance to play Bingo for the first time and interact with the elderly community of Bland. It was interesting watching them as they were all engaged in the game of Bingo. At the end of our visit, Billy walked us out.
