She is now comfortably ensconced in a furnished 1-bedroom suite, getting "Respite Care" for awhile at a place just up the road from her house. She chose it and is there to get healed up for some (minor) surgery that should help her get even better; and after she's healed up from that, she (and her kids including me) will figure out what's next.
The place is pretty much a fine hotel with a nice dining room, 24-hour nurses and falling-down monitors. I think she'll be safer. I hope she'll worry less. I think I will.
Glad that your mother is good and getting better.
ReplyDeleteDealing with aging parents is never fun. (Suggesting to my dad that perhaps he consider giving up driving was a tough conversation. One of many.)
Some of the "Independent Living" facilities are pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good spot for some R&R (rest and recuperation) hope she heals up quick.
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty good. I'm glad your mom is OK.
ReplyDeleteAging looks like a damn lousy job to have to do. :(
