homes don't expect people to be alike. They get to know how you roll and then try and enable you to roll that very way. Think of the number of residents each staff person has dealt with over the years of their job. And remember that nursing homes are great levelers: all people go there. So they have likely seen the very introverted again and again over the years (unlike people from my neck of the woods who did not comprehend let alone understand my introverted self). I would not expect any type of judgement from the staff at the nursing home. Good luck with your routine.
