The trash wasn’t dumped. There was food on the table. I searched forever until I found the bath towels but no washcloths. When I did our laundry then in the dryer was the towels , washcloths etc. And the bedroom had a transition so my mom in laws walker and footing were unsafe for her so we had to go get a wood transition strip made.
