Profile picture for Becky, Volunteer Mentor @becsbuddy

@rickjudy2012 Hello I just happened to read your posting. I’m Becky, a mentor for the Caregiving Support Groups. You said that living at home has gotten to be difficult and that you never anticipated growing old together would be do difficult or “like this.” Have you thought about assisted living? You would have a small apartment in a long term care/rehabilitation facility. The home makes all your meals, provides O2, and probably has physical therapy.

@becsbuddy I genuinely appreciate your reply & value your comments.
Since, as of late, our conditions both seem to be rapidly deteriorating, we are now “scrambling”, along with help from my son & daughter-in-law to investigate different assisted living facilities. We are a couple years late concluding that assisted living is our most reasonable option, & are trying to find a suitable place & “start the ball rolling”.
Thank you again, & all prayers would be appreciated.
