It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

My grandma is the same way. It's an endless 24/7 stream. I honestly don't know when she sleeps. It's pretty much a endless loop that I've heard over and over countless times. It's basically an oral biography. My ear plugs are a requirement for me to get any sleep at all. Even with those, she wakes me up about 3-4 times a night when she needs to punctuate the oratory with shouting. Of course I have to get up and make sure she's not calling for help because she fell. 99% of the time it isn't. This has been going on for 10 years. I don't see it stopping.
I keyed-in on the biography thing. A lifetime of experiences are difficult to express. Chronological sequence moves in the retelling. I do sometimes try to tell the story of my life of adventure to my oldest daughter....she suggested that I write a book !! I'm thinking I should fill my facebook full of pics out of all the old photo albums while I still have the wherewithal to scan and upload them. Best wishes,,,Rusty
My mother lived by herself in IL, and I sometimes took her with me for a trip when I was working for a couple of days somewhere interesting. She also talked non-stop then, and again it wasn’t like her past rather buttoned-up self. I think she was lonely in her unit, even though she liked it, and she really enjoyed talking, particularly about times past that I would remember better than anyone else. With luck, your father’s need to talk will fade a bit over time, and you will find a way to walk away politely. Best wishes.
Just pretend you are listening. Cause I have this problem with my significant other. I've told him numerous times he talks too much. His Father is the exact same way, or was before he became elderly.
Listen for key sentences just in case there is a quiz afterwards. Husband: you aren't listening. In my head I'm thinking: if I listened to you whenever you talk, that's all I'd do. What I say: yes, you said this and this and that. I've gotten good at tuning him out but hearing key sentences. This way I never get caught unprepared when there's a quiz. :P
