4:15 PM – I just got home from moving Mom to the nursing home. I stopped at the nursing home and met Erica, who I’ve been in contact with through the process. She was really nice. We sat outside where I had to sign admissions papers again because too much time had passed because of the delay in her discharge from the hospital. Mom was really happy to see me and I got a hug from her. She kept asking about her purse while the nurse was handing me her things. We sat out in the car for about an hour and filled out a questionnaire about her for the nursing home (favorite things etc.) She was really disappointed that she wasn’t going home, but didn’t give me any problems resisting or anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got to the nursing home and Erica came out to great us. She had already met Mom, but Mom didn’t seem to remember it, not unusual. After a few minutes chatting Mom took Erica’s arm and was ready to go in, almost like she forgot I was there. I had to stop her to give her another hug and let her know I’d visit as soon as the lock-down was lifted and off she went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She will be in an isolation area for 10 days. She will have a TV and some find a word puzzles I brought her and plenty of staff visiting her. After that, she will be moved to a room that she will be sharing with a lady named Sue (who apparently can’t wait to meet Mom.) Ultimately, I think Mom is going to be happier there having other people her age to talk and relate to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I just need to gather everything up for the Medicaid application process. Hopefully that will be a breeze, but since it’s government, probably not… lol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I should also mention that when the lock-down is lifted, if anyone would like to visit Mom, Erica recommended that I take them up there the first time. I have no problem doing that. Just let me know and we’ll work out a time to go. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
