I think for my mom this place will be good. When she was living with me and then before that when she was on her own she was basically a recluse. For the last 10 years or so she has hardly left the house or spoken to anyone. She just sits and watches TV all day. I know that can't be a life she likes. When she was here my girlfriend would play cards with her and board games with her and stuff and I was around to hang out with her which seemed to help. At least in this place she will be forced to go to the dining hall to eat and they have a lot of activities and stuff and some great outside areas for her to check out so she can be a little more social and have stuff to look forward to besides TV.
