But perhaps it will be the end of one adventure for Mom and the beginning of a new one.
She was struggling so much at home. I will admit, some good days, but so many more that weren't and so hard to deal with it alone so much of the time. I was there almost everyday for the past several months and for the few that I wasn't, my wonderful daughters (especially Teresa) stepped in to help.
But it really wasn't enough.
So today Mom moved into Lanark Heights, a Long Term Care home that we have heard so many good things about!!
We spent the day doing last minute packing and then Karl and my brother John loaded more stuff than we likely should have and brought it over to the home. We left Mom at the door, shepherded away to her room by staff who really could not have been kinder to her ...... and to me once she left. As we sat outside the door (not allowed in at all) completing the mountain of required paperwork, we were told that Mom seems to be fine, already creating connections with the staff who were settling her in.
We were truly impressed by the staff we spoke to. I pray that this will be a good place for Mom. That she can be well cared for, but also happy.
