Florence (Episode 6257)

Florence was a resident of Markfield Nursing Home who spoke to Mike Baldwin during his visit there in March 2006. Mike's son Danny and grandson Jamie took Mike for a look round the home to show him a potential option of care should his dementia continue to get worse.

While at the house, Mike met Florence and the two got chatting about the various types of flowers in the garden of the nursing home. When Danny and Jamie said that they wanted to leave, Cynthia told them that she and Mike were still talking. Mike told them to respect Cynthia's wishes and the two said that they would meet Mike outside.

When Mike met Danny and Jamie outside, he told the two that Cynthia could name every single type of flower that was in the garden. Mike also told them that the man that she was with was her son but that she couldn't remember who he was.

Mike was affected by the severity of Cynthia's condition and told Danny and Jamie that if his dementia ever got to that stage, that he would not want to see them again.
