Thank you, that helps. One of the places we visited yesterday had a staff with very very little turn over. And the lady who was basically “everything” there but her official title was head of housekeeping, she gave me and my brother the greatest hug! She says she hugs everyone every morning. The place was not the prettiest, but the staff was amazing. Really cares about the folks and my brother and I. Knowing my mom is ever suffering for one minute is awful! And yes, before my daughter was baptized in 2012, mom “forgot” she was going to babysit while my husband and I went to a class. Didn’t even think it could be the “beginning” but mom never “blitzed” like that. And there are many more examples.

Thank you for your post!

@secretwhitepop- That must have been quite a shock when you got home. How old were your kids?
I'd also like to share this site with you

Hugs from those who care mean so very much! I miss them and relish them from my teenage grandchildren !

Oh my gosh girl, I think you have found the place for your mom. As I was reading this post of yours, my mind picked out so many wonderful clues to being THE place for her. Little staff turn over was the first clue....hugs, oh my....I am thrilled!!!
I feel so happy excited and this is your mom, not mine....
We put my mom in a nice home after she couldn't live with my uncle anymore. It was $5000 a month. She could afford it. She was happy there for 5 years then fell with a stroke...she did not suffer.
She died on Dec 14, 2010.
I finished integrating the last 8 or so personalities on 1/11/11. She had to die before they chose to stop protecting me....
However my life was, it is so different now!!!!
Never give up...never, never, never
