Re Mum Thank you all for the hugs and kind thoughts. It is hard for us all to see Mum deteriorate like she has. It is her decision, not ours, to go into a Nursing Home. Just last week we all spoke about trying to persuade her to coming down here to live with my sister.But yesterday Mum spoke to me about going into a home. I told her she had options and could move down here with us, but she knows that a Nursing home is the best for her where she will have 24 hr Nursing care, Which is very close now to what she requires. She is now having trouble walking,needs assistance with showering and dressing too. Her next door neighbour has been a blessing to us all, as she has been Mum's Carer, since Dad passed away. She has been going in each day to make sure she has taken her pills, staying there while Mum has her shower As some of you will know Mum is now 85 yrs old and has been living on her own since Dad passed away 5 yrs ago. She lives a 2 hour drive away from us all so it is very difficult for us to be there as often as we would like to be.
She has all her faculties and knows what she is doing,its just the poor old body is wearing out and she knows each day she is becoming limited in what she can do. We have a very good system down here. Mum is covered by the Veterans Affairs, so gets top service and very good choices in the Nursing Homes of her choice.She will have her own living quarters but there will always be a nurse on hand. I doubt she will choose one with her own kitchen though. I think it best that all meals be prepared for her. She spoke to me of some of her choices. Some very good ones near where she lives. I personally would like to see her move to one down here.That way we could visit her every day But in the end it is her choice and of course where there are vacancies too. We also have the protocol to go through, medical team to assess her etc.
