They have intercoms and they check on the residents throughout the day, remind them to take their meds, and they also do an in person check once a day. Then once a week they received a "check-up" with a nurse taking blood pressure and listening to their heart, etc. I think they also had a community room for parties and activities. ☺La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-38800525984493023552023-02-14T03:53:40.993-08:002023-02-14T03:53:40.993-08:00Sorry to hear about your mum.

And I hear you on the pitfalls of getting old - my own parents have often slipped in the bathroom / when trying to lift suitcases - all with disastrous consequences, so much need to be extra cautious.

Time is just getting away from me. I finally had a chance to try Rice Cake noodles, but they were from Trader Joe's and it might well have been menudo. Hope all is going well for you and your family. <br /><br /><br><a href="https://caitlinnmegan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Caitlin&Megan</a><br><a href="https://bonjourivyparker.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ivy&Ellie</a><br><a href="https://csats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Carefully Listening</a><br><a href="https://elliencompany.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellie</a><br><a href="http://colingrayfanfic.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Book Group</a><br><a href="https://itmeansnothingtome.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Holly&Stevie</a><br><a href="https://thislonnielove.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Cherry Blossoms</a><br><a href="https://heathandnick.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Better Left Unsaid</a>elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854933369544818739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-76823318620148137872023-02-09T06:08:36.700-08:002023-02-09T06:08:36.700-08:00Donuts do make everything better.

Falls for the elderly are no joke, we are in this boat with my MiL now and while she's insisting she can remain independent we really think she should be in a senior community or at least have a visiting careworker come in every once in a while. We're hoping it wouldn't have to come to a fall to make her realize that. Anyway, I hope your mom can find an arrangement that works for her too, so you won't have to worry anymore.BiblioSanctumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910858361017908691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-30833904801591315642023-02-07T16:17:29.907-08:002023-02-07T16:17:29.907-08:00So sorry to hear about your mom's fall.

My mom is pretty good about using her walking sticks when she's out, but not at home. I told her she needs to use them all the time or she has to use a walker. I remember when my grandmother lived alone (years ago) she had one of those life alert button things she could wear around her neck in case she fell. Maybe that would work for your mom?
