I am sorry he needed the loan, and do hope it really is a loan.

The move is accomplished. We all worked very hard. I think overall it will be a very good thing, but understandably, the MIL is a bit overwhelmed.

I think she'll feel more at home once we can get some of her art up on the walls.

The staff at the new building were, every one of them, darling. Including the men.

This is a mix of independent living, assisted living (where we were), and memory care.

The apartment has lovely views of gardens and trees, and the amenities are amazing. I wouldn't mind living there myself!

I am glad I wasn't moving furniture. The heat index was 117.

MIL went down to her first communal meal, stating that perhaps she would have a little soup.

singdaw · « **Reply #163 on:** August 22, 2023, 05:55:18 PM »

Post-dinner, she reported that she had soup, the hot entree, a salad, and a dessert.

And met three other very nice ladies at her table.

This facility does not have assigned seating for meals, which I found interesting.

But for the first week, they pair newcomers up with an "ambassador," a resident who takes them under their wing.

singdaw · « **Reply #167 on:** August 22, 2023, 05:56:53 PM »

So overall, a very positive experience.

singdaw · « **Reply #168 on:** August 22, 2023, 05:57:37 PM »

And I am pretty sure that I will never be able to afford to spend my last years in a setting anything close to this nice.

The MIL has a long term care insurance policy that pays for the entire thing. They don't even sell this kind of policy anymore.

I am turning in. Exhausted.

Good night, friends.

That's wonderful, Singdaw.

Good news. I hope she adjusts quickly.

I always find that helps.
