Well, all's well at the homefront. I could go into quite a bit of detail, but long story short, we successfully placed Dad @ the nursing home.
The night before we had our pre-admit meeting didn't go so well though.
I received a call from the care home saying that she wanted to go home. She tried to escape through the elevator, the stairwell, and even the lanai.
The day we had our pre-admit meeting, the social worker suggested that we needed to prepare Ma about it, since she wanted so desperately to leave.
I must say, they are professionals and they know how to communicate!
Ma was elated at the fact that Dad was moving in. He moved in the following day, and I've been calling the care home every day to make sure everyone was doing well. They assured me that there have been
"no incidents or problems to report!"
I think that this chapter has come to a close.
I'll keep this blog open to post progress and post photos. Yay! Can you hear the sigh of relief? It is Q-U-I-E-T at our house!
