After a flurry of activity to get my mom into the award-winning skilled-nursing facility (they offer assisted living, too), she has decided she doesn't want to go. I had her records faxed over there first thing this morning. Several hours later, the admissions/marketing director stopped by to talk with her and evaluate the situation. About an hour later, they called me to say that they had accepted my mom, but my mom seemed to be balking at transferring over there today or tomorrow. They asked me if I could find out what was going on...that they can only hold the bed open until tomorrow afternoon.

I hope I don’t pull stunts like that..
I remember my sister and I trying to get dad into a good long term care facility.. and thinking that if he had to room with someone he would be very difficult to deal with..
We got him into a place that was just opening and we got him a room on his own.. and I saw that there was a bus to the place..
Then when I started visiting.. (I had to take the streetcar to the train.. then the train from Union Station in Toronto to Burlington and then a bus to the nursing home.. about three hours one way) I found out the bus was cancelled to the place were dad was..
So I had to get off the other bus and walk for about ten or fifteen minutes.. this in winter as well as good weather.. (they eventually started bus service again)
All this so he could get in a good place..
Three years.. he was in there..
