We moved my 87 yo mother and her husband into assisted living earlier this week. My mom has done nothing but complain all week. The place is beautiful and so nice and attentive, but she finds everything to complain about. Granted her decrepit husband was trying to do most everything for her (my sister and I helped - a lot!), but he’s not any healthier - just gets around a bit better. She can barely walk 10 ft with a walker, needs help to shower and dress. Hasn’t even been in the kitchen in months. She was basically homebound. She was out of her apartment 3 times in 6 months - all for UC care visits that turned into hospital stays. They were a broken hip or heart attack waiting to happen. During the last hospital stay they wanted her to go to skilled nursing and she refused. I hope they will at least make an attempt to enjoy the help and the environment 🤞🤞🤞
