The bed and bath are separated from the rest of the house by the den, which makes it more private for everyone. Mom likes to be able to look outside, so we put 2 windows in her bedroom that look out into the backyard. We try to keep a birdhouse or birdbath and flowers so that she can see activity out her windows.
