Book Club

I recently started a book club at our facility in which we are reading an entire book over several weeks. (This is aimed more at our higher functioning residents, as our reading groups which we read short stories are more for our early dementia folks.)
 Our first book is Tuesdays with Morrie, and it has been well received.  I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for books that would appeal to seniors, both men and women and aren't too long or complex?  Any ideas?  Thank for sharing!

Balance

I know everyone in this profession will agree that you can't make everyone happy all the time, though we do try really hard.  But unfortunately the squeaky wheel often gets the grease.  How do you balance the complainers who want everything to be for them, and the needs of the other 100+ people in your facility and still make things "person centered?"  That is the question.  It is one of the issues I am constantly struggling with.  How do others handle it?
