Since last Thursday Mom has been at Southampton Estates, a sister community to Gwynedd Estates. The secure area where she's staying is primarily used for residents whose needs are somewhat greater than Mom's. We're hoping that after an evaluation period the staff will deem her suitable for an apartment in an assisted living section designed to prevent wandering of the residents. This would be sort of a hybrid of assited living and a totally secured area.
The section she is in now is all semi-private rooms, a big adjustment for all of us. She doesn't seem to mind but she has never been one to complain. She has a roommate who sleeps most of the time. She's continuing to eat well. We took her out to dinner Sunday night and she had good time. She got to see all of her children this weekend. That always lifts her spirits.
On the medical front, everything is stable. We're awaiting a consultation with the radiation doctor to determine a course of action.
For the time being, Mom doesn't have a phone to receive incoming calls. We're holding off the hassle of dealing with Verizon to move the phone service until we have a better idea of where she'll be. I'm sure an arrangement could be made to speak with her by one of our cell phones or by the phone at the nurse's desk. Contact one of us for details.
Have a great day!
