It's taken 15 months but we finally have mom settled in the nicest nursing
home in the Halifax area. (physical structure anyway)

Good job Don - I know you were concerned about this issue.

Best to luck to her.


Thanks Tom .. it is a bit of a struggle here with a shortage of nursing
beds.
I don't know what they'll do with all us baby boomers... maybe build a tent
city out on the Halifax Commons.... or a 'temporary military barracks' such
as we had lots of after WW2.



I'm glad you found what you needed. We recently lost a 99-year-old
relative who fortunately was self-reliant and capable and almost
completely without medical problems until the very end, so she was able
to live at home with one of her daughters. Feisty lady, red hair,
dancer, and she walked a mile or more each day.
