Memory Care may be a no go...

Mom has been having several good days. I call her almost daily. Ladybug and I are going over for a visit next Tuesday Lord willing. Gave her number to a cousin in Florida and she called and had a good visit with mom on the phone. Here is the latest update from Snickers...

Hello All,

Sorry I've not shot you a note lately, but I didn't have anything to share. Waited and waited to hear back from the memory care community (MCC) I called again today and wow the manager answered the phone. Well, here it is. The Orchard Pointe' MCC is in transition with a take over by a new owner...go figure, so at this time they have put a hold on any new Medicaid residents to be allowed into the facility. We will not know anything until Jan and then they may not even take Medicaid at all. No mom is not Medicaid at this time but she would be able to go into a facility as a private pay but only for one month. Then she would have to be Medicaid and that's how they do it. Anyway with January coming and the Medicaid cuts that are coming things look pretty sad for any help. I am going to see about the military help since mom and dad we not divorced till years after his retirement. Have a few things in the works to find help with that. Any suggestions would be great to hear on how to get help with the military.

Mom has been doing very well. Most of her days are pretty good. We went out shopping for her some new cloths and shoes a few Friday's ago and we had a great day. Mom talked about how much fun she had for days. Made me feel really good. So we put smileooooos on her daily record and frownooooos when she doesn't do very well. It helps her and us see that she has more good days than bad. :)

Dinner time....salmon tonight.
Take Care,

Snickers
