I didn't know you needed to clean your own room in a nursing home. That's one of the things nursing homes are for ... when you've gotten to the point where you need someone else to take care of you, including cleaning your room. And it's not like nursing home residents are super-consumer shopaholics dragging all kinds of stuff back into their rooms. Most of the rooms I've seen are very minimal. You have your bed, your chair, your family picture, your walker/wheelchair, a box of Kleenix, and a comb. Plus a few minor articles that you've taken from other residents, who took them from some other resident before that, who might have taken them from you in the first place. But you've all forgotten where they originated from, they're just roving treasures now. OK, maybe not quite that bad, but close.
