Caring for my mom Member since October 18, 2008Mom lived with me for 8 years. First 5 or 6 were wonderful, then her increasing care needs started sucking the life out of me. Neither of us was in a healthy place. She moved to an Assisted Living apartment, then after a fall that caused a severe neck injury, she moved to Skilled Nursing, where she remains.
That's the brief of it. We've been through a lot. Mom is now very contented with her living situation. I'm happy to share my experiences, particularly about how much healthier mom is now that she has constant interaction with other people rather than being home alone at my house. The journey wasn't always easy, but we got here.
