My heart hurts for you, and your family.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could go now, be able to spend a little more quality time with your dad before he gets worse? It might also give you a little time to assess how your mom is really doing, and what her needs are or are going to be in the near future. Your dad might also be able to tell you what he thinks your mom will really need when he's gone.<BR/><BR/>Assisted living, if income (or $$$ from a sale of a house)allows, is a wonderful option for seniors that need a little help but can still manage some things on their own. It's also FAR cheaper than skilled nursing care. I know Houston has many of the same chains as SA. If you were to move your mom to Houston look at Merrill Gardens. My mom was at the one in SA and I can't recommend it highly enough. Also, if the time comes for a nursing home, look at the Regent Care Center group. They are amazing in the quality of care.<BR/><BR/>I know the road you have ahead of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. {{{{ }}}}SassyFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825555906386002414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581865.post-6478920154702312762008-06-03T06:45:00.000-07:002008-06-03T06:45:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry Maxine.I'm so sorry Maxine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581865.post-76435174685062093922008-06-02T17:56:00.000-07:002008-06-02T17:56:00.000-07:00My mom informed me recently that *I* will be her g...My mom informed me recently that *I* will be her guardian (in a more official capacity than this only daughter deal) luckily we are both in the same state, same town even, still...logistics. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear the news about your dad.
