Thank you for the warning. We are relaxing a little from the sense of urgency we were feeling, and do intend to investigate places carefully. I've found recently, visiting nursing homes and hospices, that they differ greatly. (But even in the "poorer" places, so many aides and nurses are so kind to the patients, it's lovely to see.)Jeanne Desyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800258273705288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-64594005643004208332012-06-20T16:54:36.545-04:002012-06-20T16:54:36.545-04:00Dear Grandma:
I don't know you, I've just ...Dear Grandma:<br />I don't know you, I've just come across your blog, but above you mentioned "...not going to move into a condo either; it's straight to retirement home for us,...".<br />Please, please, please be careful. There are some many places that do, at best, a mediocre job of taking care of their clients. I've seen these facilties through my work. If you chose a senior complex with their own apartments and perhaps, with medical staff on hand, that might be one thing. <br />Anything else is just problematic. <br />I'm just a couple of months short of 50 and my mother is 68. She is NEVER going into a retirement home.<br /><br />Sorry, I know I'm not being skillful, but I worry about all the mommas out there. Including ones that I've just discovered their blog.<br />Metta from Pineville, LA<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-71696776905811501352012-06-15T08:42:11.091-04:002012-06-15T08:42:11.091-04:00Actually, Darla is so well-groomed and professiona...Actually, Darla is so well-groomed and professional that the flip-flops tickled me. Part of her friendly persona, maybe. And she's partnered with an agent who's a long-time church friend, so we're happy with the team.Jeanne Desyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800258273705288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-33272847798010021042012-06-13T09:38:51.561-04:002012-06-13T09:38:51.561-04:00Downsizing brings freedom, but find a better a bet...Downsizing brings freedom, but find a better a better agent.Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787588883235992471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123326368423499292.post-48555448704141307612012-06-13T08:43:42.964-04:002012-06-13T08:43:42.964-04:00Dalai Grandma,
