QUESTION: da has been accepted in a local nursing home for Monday. I just got the
call a few minutes ago.
This is an absolutely gorgeous place, quite new, big spacious rooms, and
only about 7 miles from my house. Ida will have the bed by the window in a
room with two beds. It is in the country, and the people were all super
friendly there.
I looked at the two best local places and was not so sure which would be the
better choice, and if things don't go as well as I think they will, we are
still on the list for the other one and can move her there if need be.
We are both happy and sad at the same time. I will spend a lot of time
this weekend organizing her clothing and belongings to make the transition a
good one.
It is close enough to home to visit every day if need be, and I will finally
see my poor husband get a real nights sleep uninterrupted, and I will be
able to go out with him together to a movie or the store or to lunch without
having to hire a granny sitter for the first time in three years.
ANSWER: be sure her name is on everything. That won't insure that she will
keep it all, but it will help. sometimes other residents help themselves.
And other things just happen. Wonderful that it happened so quickly. Good
luck.
