My mother was moved to assisted living on Feb 1 of this year. At least 5 times a day she would call me and ask if she was living there permanently. Each time I would simply answer yes. Then after every 'yes', she would reply 'oh, I am not going back to blank-city? And I would reply, 'no'. Unfortunately this created a loop of grief and sadness for her since she was missing her home of 60 years. This past week I made some signs for her (at her request) and placed them in locations that I know she would see them. They simply say 'I am permanently living at the blah-blah community. My home in blank-city is now too big and unsafe for me.' Fortunately this worked, and I no longer get asked these difficult questions and she doesn't go into grief mode.
