My sister, brother, and I all want them to go to assisted living to be safe, and have more things to do and people to talk to. The place we have picked is really nice, and has a bus that takes them places every day. It is just a very very good place. I would not mind living there myself, when I need extra help. The apartments are large and inviting and all have new paint and new carpet when they move in. We really think that it would help preserve some of Mom's memory to play cards, bingo, puzzles, etc. They can have their own furniture. We are trying and trying to talk them into it before winter hits again. We just really had a horrible winter with them, out in the country and constantly plowing them out, shoveling snow, and now a huge four acre or more lawn to mow. They can't drive, wouldn't move to a condo before, and things are getting harder all of the time. Dad is blaming us for everything that is going wrong, and the mower accidents he is having because he can't see. My sister came to Ohio to visit them from Wisconsin this week, and they treated her so bad that she came to my house to stay the last night. We are thinking that maybe if we quit babying them so much and let them try to figure things out, they will see that they just really can't. We are running to their house to fix the t.v. remote because they keep messing it up, they can't use their home phone very well, can't call for gas or make doctors appointments or remember them, can't manage meds, can't recongnize when the other guy has health issues. What a mess we have!!
