&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Families generally do not start investigating memory care from a location of calm. Something has actually occurred. A parent has wandered outside at night, a spouse has left a range on, or you recognize that every discussion now loops back to the same three questions. By the time somebody sits throughout from me to speak about senior care, they are exhausted, stressed, and generally guilty about even considering a move.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The choice in between a large assisted living community and a little residential home is not just a matter of cost or decor. For people living with dementia, the scale and structure of the environment have a direct impact on function, behavior, and quality of life. Over the last decade, I have seen small, well run homes silently exceed much bigger senior living facilities for many people with cognitive impairment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Not every small home is excellent and not every large structure is impersonal. The real story lies in how each setting handles staffing, routines, sensory input, and relationships. When you understand those components, the choice becomes clearer.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; What &amp;quot;small home&amp;quot; memory care really means&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The terms puzzle individuals. Residential care home, board and care, group home, micro neighborhood, adult family home. Depending on the state, they can all describe basically the very same design: a certified home in a residential area, usually with 4 to 12 residents, offering assisted living and typically specialized memory care.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The setting appears like a normal house from the exterior. Inside, personal or semi personal bedrooms share typical living and dining areas. A little staff provides 24 hr assistance with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, and supervision. When dementia is included, that support includes assist with cueing, redirection, and behavioral signs such as agitation or sundowning.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In contrast, a conventional big assisted living or memory care facility may have 40 to more than 100 locals per structure. Spaces frequently line long corridors. There are activity rooms, dining spaces, in some cases numerous floorings, and more layers of administration.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;img  src=&amp;quot;https://beehivehomes.com/root/assets/images/service-8.jpg&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;max-width:500px;height:auto;&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/img&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The size distinction does more than alter the look of the location. It forms relationships, regimens, and the method care is delivered, often in methods households do not see throughout a brief tour.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Why environment matters a lot in memory care&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; People living with Alzheimer&#039;s illness, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, and related conditions lose not just memories however also executive function, spatial awareness, and tension tolerance. That indicates: &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; They become more quickly overwhelmed by sound, crowds, and intricate layouts.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; They have a hard time to interpret ambiguous scenarios and faces. They rely more heavily on habits, sensory cues, and routine. &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The physical and social environment can either compensate for these losses or intensify them.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a huge center, the consistent circulation of staff and residents, statements, tvs, shipments, and visitors develops a level of background stimulation that a healthy grownup can filter out but somebody with dementia typically can not. For some locals, this causes withdrawal. For others, it activates hostility or frantic efforts to leave. Households in some cases presume these behaviors are the illness alone, when the environment is heavily involved.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a smaller home, there are just less moving parts. Less people walk through the living room. The distance from bedroom to kitchen may be twenty actions, not two long corridors and an elevator. A resident can frequently see the front door, the table, the garden, and the familiar chair all in one visual field. That decreases stress and anxiety and makes it simpler for the person to stay oriented to everyday life.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; I have actually seen a gentleman who constantly paced and attempted to leave in a 90 bed facility settle into a pattern of calm walks to the outdoor patio and back in a six resident home. His medication did not alter. The size and predictability of the environment did.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; How small homes personalize daily life&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The expression &amp;quot;customized care&amp;quot; appears in almost every brochure. What it looks like in practice differs dramatically.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a well run small memory care home, staff know not just a resident&#039;s medical diagnosis and medication list however likewise the names of their children, what they liked for breakfast at 40, which music relaxes them, and how they respond when hurried. With only a handful of homeowners, this level of understanding is not an aspirational goal. It is the only useful method to survive the day.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Meal preparation provides a simple example. In numerous big centers, food is made in a central kitchen area, plated, and served at scheduled times. Staff have actually restricted flexibility to deviate from the menu or timing. In a small home, staff might prepare outdoors kitchen, permitting citizens to smell coffee, hear pans, and watch the table being set. For somebody with dementia, that sensory series can stimulate hunger in a manner a printed menu never ever will.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Bathing regimens tell a similar story. A caregiver in a huge memory care system may have a fixed number of residents to bathe within a certain shift. If Mrs. Lopez declines at 7 a.m., there might not be time to return gently later. A caregiver in a six person home can frequently wait, provide a snack, and try once again at 9 a.m. When the resident is less afraid. That is what real person centered care looks like: not a slogan, but the ability to bend the regular around the person instead of the other way around.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Families in some cases ignore the value of these little modifications. With time, they can indicate less confrontations, less need for antipsychotic medications, and far more minutes of maintained dignity.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Staffing patterns and why ratios are only the beginning&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Ask any sales representative about staffing and you will hear ratios. One staff member for 8 locals during the day. One for 12 at night. Ratios matter, but they do not tell you how staff are released or what they are expected to do.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a big assisted living neighborhood, frontline staff might turn in between floorings or systems. House cleaning, dining, and caregiving may be separate departments. While specialization can bring effectiveness, it also pieces relationships. A resident living with amnesia might see half a lots various employee for various jobs, none of whom see the entire individual across the day.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a small home, caretakers generally wear numerous hats. The individual who assists your mother gown may also serve her lunch and sit with her in the afternoon. When that employee notices that Mom is coughing more while drinking, they can adjust, use thicker liquids, and alert the nurse or owner without going through several layers.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Another key difference is how staff handle downtime. In big buildings, when a resident is quietly enjoying television, a caretaker may be appointed to charting, stocking supplies, or assisting somebody 2 doors down. In smaller homes, there is less documentation and fewer physical miles to cover, so personnel naturally spend more minutes in the shared home. That extra presence typically translates to spontaneous engagement: folding towels together, singing while setting the table, paging through a photo book. Those disorganized interactions are vital for keeping function and reducing loneliness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;iframe  src=&amp;quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/y_27TKFEDBA&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;560&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;315&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border: none;&amp;quot; allowfullscreen=&amp;quot;&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; That said, small homes have vulnerabilities. If a two individual graveyard shift loses one team member to health problem, the effect is immediate. In a corporate center, backup staff float more easily. The very best small homes plan for this with cross training, on call personnel, and owners who want to show up at odd hours. When you examine any setting, ask specifically how they deal with abort, emergencies, and high requirement residents.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Behavioral symptoms and the quiet benefit of scale&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Families typically seek memory care after a spike in behavioral symptoms: wandering, aggressive outbursts, repeated calling, or severe nighttime wakefulness. It is simple to assume that a larger facility with a &amp;quot;specialized dementia unit&amp;quot; will be more geared up to manage these challenges.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; What I have seen consistently is that little homes lower the requirement for high intensity intervention in the first place.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;iframe  src=&amp;quot;https://www.rssdog.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fnews%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DAndrews%2BTexas%26format%3Drss&amp;amp;mode=html&amp;amp;showonly=&amp;amp;maxitems=10&amp;amp;showdescs=1&amp;amp;desctrim=150&amp;amp;descmax=0&amp;amp;tabwidth=100%25&amp;amp;linktarget=_blank&amp;amp;bordercol=%23d4d0c8&amp;amp;headbgcol=%23999999&amp;amp;headtxtcol=%23ffffff&amp;amp;titlebgcol=%23f1eded&amp;amp;titletxtcol=%23000000&amp;amp;itembgcol=%23ffffff&amp;amp;itemtxtcol=%23000000&amp;amp;ctl=0&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;560&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;315&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border: none;&amp;quot; allowfullscreen=&amp;quot;&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Consider roaming. In a structure with numerous hallways and exits, staff needs to use alarms, coded doors, and frequent redirection. For someone with dementia, constant &amp;quot;No, you can not go there&amp;quot; can feel like imprisonment. In a little residential home with a safe and secure backyard, personnel can often say, &amp;quot;Let us go outdoors together,&amp;quot; then walk with the individual or watch from the kitchen area window. The urge to move is honored, not fought.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; For locals with hallucinations or fear, unfamiliar faces and complex social environments amplify distress. I once worked with a female with Lewy body dementia who insisted that strangers were residing in her closet. In a 60 bed system where personnel rotated often, this escalated into shrieking episodes. When she moved into an 8 bed home where the exact same three caretakers showed up everyday and the closet was plainly noticeable from her favorite chair, her episodes reduced. Her brain illness did not reverse. The visual and relational predictability enabled her nerve system to settle.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Larger facilities can and do supply excellent behavioral care when they invest greatly in personnel training, constant projects, and environmental design. The difficulty is that their organization design typically focuses on occupancy and facility marketing over deep dementia knowledge. A small, focused home that admits just locals with memory care requirements can focus all of its attention on that population.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;iframe  src=&amp;quot;https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=32.33393716819597&amp;amp;lon=-102.55629310901988&amp;amp;detailLat=32.33393716819597&amp;amp;detailLon=-102.55629310901988&amp;amp;zoom=10&amp;amp;level=surface&amp;amp;overlay=wind&amp;amp;product=ecmwf&amp;amp;menu=&amp;amp;message=&amp;amp;marker=true&amp;amp;type=map&amp;amp;location=coordinates&amp;amp;detail=true&amp;amp;metricWind=mph&amp;amp;metricTemp=F&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;560&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;315&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border: none;&amp;quot; allowfullscreen=&amp;quot;&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; When larger facilities may fit better&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The picture is not one sided. There are circumstances where a bigger assisted living or memory care neighborhood serves a resident better than a little home.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; A resident who is still extremely social, enjoys group activities, and requires only light cueing might grow in a bigger setting with a calendar of occasions, workout classes, and bus getaways. A retired teacher who loves leading discussions might discover a small home too quiet.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Some large neighborhoods also provide on site medical services, rehabilitation clinics, or safe memory care areas attached to experienced nursing units. For residents with intricate medical conditions such as regular IV antibiotics, advanced cardiac arrest, or ventilator dependence, a bigger center might be the only option that can fulfill regulatory and clinical requirements.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Families with extremely limited financial resources might qualify for Medicaid funded beds more quickly in bigger centers that have official contracts with state programs. Lots of small homes take part too, but not all, and availability can be tight.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; The secret is to match the environment to the person&#039;s current phase of illness, character, and medical danger, with an eye toward what the next 12 to 24 months might bring.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; A clear comparison: how small homes differ in practice&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; To keep the trade offs concrete, it assists to take a look at the core distinctions that matter most in everyday life.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Scale and design: Small homes generally have less than 12 citizens and a basic, residential layout. Big facilities might house dozens per unit with longer hallways and more complex navigation.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Staffing relationships: In little homes, the same caregivers frequently assist with multiple elements of life, forming deep familiarity. In larger settings, jobs and teams are more specialized, leading to more personnel associated with each resident&#039;s day.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Sensory environment: Small homes are typically quieter, with less overhead announcements, visitors, and large group occasions. Big communities have more activity and stimulation, which can be favorable or overwhelming depending on the individual.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Flexibility of regimen: Little homes tend to change mealtimes, bathing schedules, and activities around private preferences. Larger buildings frequently run on fixed schedules to collaborate numerous residents.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Amenities and services: Large neighborhoods typically provide more formal shows, on website hair salons, treatment fitness centers, and transport. Small homes focus on home design conveniences and tailored engagement over amenities.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; None of these points automatically makes one design better, but together they frequently tilt the balance for people with moderate to advanced dementia toward smaller environments.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Role of respite care in testing the fit&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Many families feel incapacitated by the idea of an irreversible move. Brief stays, often called respite care, can offer a low risk method to evaluate how an individual reacts to a brand-new &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.instagram.com/beehivehomesofandrews/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;assisted living&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; environment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Respite stays may vary from a couple of days to several weeks. Great small homes frequently schedule a room for such stays or will briefly accommodate an individual in a semi private arrangement. Big assisted living and memory care buildings likewise use respite, in some cases with more structured pricing.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; I have actually seen respite care reveal patterns that surprised households. A husband who argued increasingly versus placement in your home became calmer and more caring after a two week remain in a little memory care home where he might securely walk in and out of the yard. Conversely, a woman who was lively and outgoing in the house ended up being withdrawn in a quiet six resident home but bloomed in a bigger neighborhood with music classes and a lively dining room.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; When using respite care as a trial, pay attention not just to your loved one&#039;s mood and behavior however likewise to how staff interact with you, whether you feel welcome, and how your own tension level modifications. If you sleep through the night for the very first time in months, that is data.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Practical indications of quality in a little memory care home&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Families frequently tell me, &amp;quot;We do not understand what we are expected to be looking for; whatever is nicely staged.&amp;quot; You are not anticipated to evaluate like an inspector, however there are a few useful signs that normally reveal the culture of care.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ol&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Smell and sound: A faint odor of lunch or cleansing materials is normal. Consistent urine or strong ventilating fragrances signal chronic problems. Listen for how personnel respond to locals&#039; calls. Sharp, hurried, or scolding tones typically reflect burnout or understaffing.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Staff tenure and presence: Ask, &amp;quot;How long have your caregivers worked here?&amp;quot; A mix of veterans and newer personnel is great, however constant turnover is a red flag. Notice whether staff hang around in the typical areas or conceal in back rooms when tasks are done.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Real interactions, not staged ones: Stop by during a non visiting hour if permitted. Try to find spontaneous engagement: reading, chatting, folding towels, or simply sitting together. If every resident is lined up dealing with a tv, engagement might be shallow.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Personalization: Peek at bed rooms (with permission). Do they show the person&#039;s life with photos and familiar items, or do they look like hotel rooms? In shared locations, are there cues for specific choices, such as favorite chairs or identified drawers?&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt; Transparency around care: Ask how they manage falls, hospitalizations, and behavioral issues. A good home will explain specific procedures, communication habits, and examples from real scenarios, not vague reassurances that &amp;quot;We deal with whatever.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Quality in elderly care is not about chandeliers or fresh paint. It shows up in small, constant behaviors and in how a home reacts when things do not go as planned.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Cost, licenses, and what families must verify&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Cost comparisons between little homes and big assisted living facilities are not straightforward. In many markets, personal pay rates for a high quality little home that supplies memory care are similar to or slightly less than mid level business memory systems, with large variation depending on area and level of care.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;iframe  src=&amp;quot;https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1501.6869362919815!2d-102.55740187254635!3d32.334062349905295!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x86fb8f3b3e2227a7%3A0xa1632f5195150b8!2sBeeHive%20Homes%20Of%20Andrews!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1769028240603!5m2!1sen!2sus&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;560&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;315&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;border: none;&amp;quot; allowfullscreen=&amp;quot;&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; What matters more than the base rate is what is included. Some communities quote a reasonably low &amp;quot;lease&amp;quot; then include tiered care charges for support with bathing, incontinence, transfers, and medication management. Others, typically smaller homes, utilize an all inclusive rate that covers most care requirements but may increase if a resident requires two person transfers or specialized equipment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; From a regulative standpoint, little homes are generally licensed under the very same classification as larger assisted living facilities or adult household homes in that state. Do not presume that &amp;quot;home like&amp;quot; implies informal or uncontrolled. Ask to see the current license, examination reports, and any shortage corrections. Numerous states post this info online.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; If your loved one might ultimately rely on Medicaid or another public payer, clarify whether the home accepts such funding and under what conditions. Some small homes will only accept Medicaid after a specific private pay period, while others do not take part at all.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Finally, consider who owns and operates the home. In your area owned homes where the operator is on website regularly can be highly responsive. Franchise models can also work well if the local operator is strong. The secret is obtainable leadership that knows the homeowners personally.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; The household&#039;s function after the move&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Moving a parent or spouse to any type of senior care, whether a small home or a bigger facility, does not end the family&#039;s involvement. It changes the nature of the work.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a little memory care home, households typically enter into the prolonged home. You might sit at the same table as other homeowners throughout meals, assistance decorate for holidays, or generate old photos that trigger group conversations. Your observations assist staff fine tune regimens. When you share that your mother constantly folded laundry at 8 p.m. While seeing the news, a good caretaker will utilize that practice to reduce evening restlessness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; In a bigger center, families often need to be more deliberate in developing relationships with crucial personnel, simply due to the fact that there are more individuals rotating through. Ask who is primarily accountable for your loved one&#039;s everyday care and discover their names. Express gratitude when you see good work; caregiving is mentally demanding, and genuine acknowledgment improves morale.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Regardless of setting, visit at different times of day. Early morning, late afternoon, and early evening all reveal various faces of a center. Nighttime can be especially revealing in memory care, when supervision and soothing methods are tested.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; Balancing head and heart&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; No design of senior care is ideal. Every alternative involves trade offs in between security, autonomy, stimulation, peaceful, expense, and proximity to household. For somebody living with dementia, those trade offs bring even more weight because the environment does a few of the work that the brain can no longer perform.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Small residential homes are not magic options. A poorly staffed or disordered little home can be worse than a well run, larger memory care neighborhood. But when they are thoughtfully designed and competently handled, little homes offer a combination of connection, simpleness, and authentic personalization that typically lines up carefully with the needs of people in moderate to sophisticated phases of cognitive decline.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; If you are weighing choices, try to hang around in each setting not as a shopper however as an observer of life. Listen to the rhythms. Notice how residents look at personnel when they go into the space: with relief, with confusion, or with indifference. That unmentioned exchange will inform you more about the quality of elderly care than any brochure.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; Above all, keep in mind that moving to assisted living or memory care, whether in a small home or a large neighborhood, is not a failure. It is a shift in how love and duty are revealed. Your role is not ending; it is progressing into advocacy, connection, and shared decision making with people whose job is to help your loved one live as completely and conveniently as possible in the time ahead.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BeeHive Homes of Andrews provides assisted living care&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
