Stolen Part V

I spoke with my dad again this morning. They have taken my grandmother to two different assisted living facilities that are quite nice. The apartment my grandmother has chosen has three levels, two bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom, a balcony, and a small living room. Luckily she can take all of her own furniture and decorate her space to her own liking. The facility takes the residents shopping once a week, to church, and out to eat once a week. All of her meals are provided for there and they have many social activities including games, movie night, etc. My grandmother also has the option of eating in a cafeteria with others or taking her meals in her room if she desires privacy. Socially and safety wise I think this is a good fit for her at this time. My grandmother has made up her mind this is where she wants to move to. Luckily, her insurance covers 80% so the cost is minimal. In addition, other amenities include the staff doing her laundry, ensuring she takes her medications, and has many sitting areas both indoors and out (one of which includes a nice fireplace). The facility was clean, friendly, and meets our high standards. Hopefully she will be moved to the facility during the next few weeks. Thus far, her long-term memory appears quite good (with the exception of being unable to recall her social security number), however; her short-term memory is slipping but is not too alarming at this point. I am so glad my sisters and I are going to be able to visit with her the second weekend in February.
