[QUOTE="RickN, post: 3593789, member: 8854"] With luck your mom will have many more happy years. One thing I ask you and anyone else who has to put a loved one in a nursing facility, do not forget about them. Visit at least once a week. If their health allows, take them out to meals, shopping, what ever they enjoy doing. I worked in nursing homes for years and so did my wife. One of the saddest things is watching people slowly getting depressed and fading away because they feel their family does not love them any more. I do not know how many I have seen where the family checks them in then visits once a month for 15 minutes if they are lucky. Then blames the home for them fading away. When my father was in a nursing home we went by almost every week, took home shopping, to the zoo or out to his favorite Mexican restaurant. We would tease the staff we were taking him out, gassing him up, then bringing him back. [/QUOTE]
