what are you supposed to do though? we are looking for more of just a place that will make her meals, give her meds as she can do most other things but right now where she is she just watches tv or sleeps all day. she can't drive and gets no social interaction besides my girlfriend (her daughter) going to see her a few times per week. she says she is always confused about what time of day or what day it is. seems like she is just waiting to die. our hope is by doing this she will get more social interaction and maybe make some friends, have a reason to get out of bed in the morning. however like i said we are not looking at a nursing home but rather an assisted living situation.
