@tjfunke1956 , you are very lucky your mother was able to accept help. That is often not the case. It sounds like your planning and intervention played out nicely. Hope your mother is recovering from her hip injury and that Memory Care goes well.

Thank you. It was not without a LOT of coercive discussions! She is now unable to recognize me most of the time and is finally walking with a rolater type walker after 4.5 months and sometimes uses it as a toilet. It is so sad to see her trapped in her mind. She was the rock and the powerhouse of our family and handled all the finances that enabled her to live in this very expensive memory care facility.
