So we finally decided to take my mom to a nursing. She wasn't able to stand anymore and we once found her on her chair where she had been for 3 hours. Next day, had to get up at night to help her off the toilet. We were happy with what we saw, but right off the bat we had concerns since no one took the timed to "welcome" her and offer any feedback on what was going to happen next. The CNA came in, the nurse came in, but that was it. But I think this is more or less normal. I was in a nursing home for broken feet and no one came to talk to me until I asked. So, I wasn't so concerned and I brought it up to the Director of Admissions. But, now, only 7 days after getting her in, her cell pone is "missing." and they can't find it. Do I report it as a theft? I thought I was going to have less stress! Saw her Sunday, but didn't touch base again because she told my sister she was happy she wasn't going to see me; so decided to go once a week. In any instance I could call her. Very upset!!
thanks again.
Good luck, it's no picnic but it can always be worse.
