Had a good visit with mom today as we prepare (emotionally), pack and practice how it will work to take mom to her new forever home: the Memory Unit of a local nursing and rehab center. Mom was and is too dangerous to herself these days. She lives a block from the intersection of a major highway and Main Street in her town, and just the physical security of keeping her safe was too much for my stepdad to continue with. He fought the good fight, keeping her at home for nearly 10 years, partially with the help of family and of SeniorAge, the local area agency on aging. However, today, 10/10/18, the time was right. There is no easy way to work this out, so we will just wing it and do our best to make the transition go smoothly.
