Another Field Trip

Yesterday mom and I visited Sunrise-Troy, the assisted living facility at Crooks & South Blvd. We toured the facility looked at two types of accomodations and enjoyed a pleasant lunch in the dining room where mom was able to talk with some of the residents. It was very enjoyable and while she would never admit it, I think she can imagine herself living there. A representative from Sunrise did an assessment of mom this morning and they see no problem with her becoming a resident. Stay tuned, there may be a new address soon!

We also spent a pleasant hour or so with her lifelong friend Priscilla, who has been in Evergreen Nursing & Rehab for a few weeks. It was a pleasure to see the two of them together and I made myself scarce so they could have a nice private visit. We returned to Heartland so mom could have her dressing changed, lay down and get some rest.

When I spoke with mom to remind her of the assessment today, she said felt the rooms were too small and wouldn't accomodate a wheel chair. She toured the facility, to include the rooms, in her wheel chair yesterday with no problem so I think she's just looking for excuses. I look forward to seeing her this afternoon and spending an hour or two with her, talking about this pending change to her living situation. Should be fun!
