Placement in Long Term Care Facility   Message List

Hello Members
Four years ago I was forced to place my lovely wife in a retirement
home that had a floor for people with alzheimers and that seemed at
the the time the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. My
health made it too difficult to look after her and advice of my
Doctor I found her a place. As time has gone on she has worsened and
the care they could provide was not sufficient to meet her needs so
again I had a decision to make to place her on the list for long term
care. The wait was going to be almost two years and now a year later
I had to broaden the locations for her as the time frame had not
changed, still two years. Two weeks ago I got the phone call they
had a room for her in a little town about 37 min from here, although
it doesn't seem like much, each time I leave her from a visit it is
harder to do as I know she is not in the same city. Again the
decision to move her was hard. On the bright side the home is new
and closer to my daughters so they are visiting more and that is a
plus.
Just wanted to share that with you and if anyone else would like to
share what has gone on with them please let us hear about it.
