We walk and try to understand each other and sometimes Google translate helps and others we just walk. We started hugging sometimes even. She's so cute

The hospital she's at has hispanic nurses. Well, they only have 1 hispanic nurse per shift. They assign that person to my grandma because she just won't speak English. All the other nurses just smile and nod their heads because they've given up on trying to get her to speak English. (She is 100% fluent in English and they know it.)
I don't know if specific nursing homes here have hispanic nurses. Maybe, maybe not.
I've never seen her speak to cleaning, kitchen, etc crews.. I don't know why. I think she's a little shy. She seems to prefer people initiating conversations with her first. And my Spanish isn't good enough to encourage a conversation with those people.
