Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / August 2005Thank You
Although I didn't post here often, I used the archives and read many many posts with personal experiences, information and recommendations. My mother will be going to an assisted living facility in about a week. All of us are convinced that this is the best situation for everyone especially my Mom. However, this is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Yesterday, I could just see the fear in her eyes. We have visited many times and everyone we have talked to has told us that this is the best time for her to go. I am thankful that this group was here when I needed it and I am sorry that it will be needed by so many others. Janice Janice, congratultions on recognizing the need your mother has and taking care of it. Best of luck to all the family. Come back more often.

It is a tough decision to put someone in an assisted living or a nursing home, but it usually turns out to be OK and they usually seem to adjust a lot quicker than we think they will. I have an Aunt who is living in an AL facility and she absolutely loves it. She doesn't have dementia of any kind, but she is just enjoying all the amenities offered there. We put my mother in law in a nursing home a little over a year ago, and was astonished at how well she adapted to the life there, and how quickly she did so. I can honestly say it was a good decision and that I don't regret it for a minute. I hope all goes well for your mom too.

She settled in so well that I still find it hard to believe. Barb in UK You're more than welcome!!! That's what we're hear for! |
