Mom is in her 2nd month at OAR. She is doing well. Snickers has taken her to her doctor and dental appointments and she has her new teeth now. The bottom plate may still need some adjustment. Mom says they make her gums sore. Mom's funds have run below what is needed for the care at OAR and I have filled out all the needed piles of paperwork for her application for medicaid. So far, so good on that. Mom has been moved to another room. Her first room mate became difficult. Mom is adapting well with her new room mate.

There are times when Mom speaks very highly of the staff there at OAR and the accommodations but other times she seems depressed. She doesn't appear to have deteriorated as far as most of the other residents in her community with the AD symptoms but often does not remember that we have been there to visit her. I call her every morning right after breakfast. She always recognizes my voice and we have the usual short conversation about the same things.
