Please keep my mom and my brother and I in your prayers. My mom recently took a turn downward this past week and so is now in a care center. I just hope she can recover but what is to happen will. This is not a good time for us at all. Thanks for listening. Gary

Gary,
I don't know you, personally, but I have gone through what you are going through and there are many things to know. I would be glad to share my experiences as a 6 year caregiver as well as advocate for my recently deceased grandfather. Please email me if you would like to chat. I will be glad to call you if you like
Best to you and your family!!

Gary, I just placed my 93 year old mom in a SNF this week. She wasn't able to get proper care in her home anymore. There was no way the caregivers could bathe her. She was also going broke hocking the house to pay for her care. Nobody wanted this and I think I'm taking it worse than my mom is. I feel so bad about it. I would not want to be in her shoes for anything. She is legally blind and in unfamiliar territory. Going back to live in her own home will never be an option for her. If she is unhappy she is not letting on. I know it's not what she wanted but she is resigned to the fact that she has to be there if she wants proper care. I just wish they made these places look less like hospitals. It's such a depressing environment, seeing all of these old people slumped in wheel chairs or otherwise sitting there expressionless. My mom has always been a good hostess and it's going to be tough for her to receive guests in such a cramped little space. Even last night she wanted send me home with some of her dinner. She wouldn't let anyone leave her house without taking food with them. Some things will never change!
Gary, I truly do feel your pain. I hope your mom recovers and is able to return to her home soon.

I truly want to say a big thank you for the responses back. Yes, it was a very difficult thing to do, but the best one for her in the long run. I was over yesterday and she doesn't want to eat; a big problem for sure. Thanks again for all of you. Gary
