12/22/24 - Update On My Husband

@lindaoh It’s all so worrying making sure a loved one is getting the right care.

My heart goes out to you Hope he gets better.

I hope everything works out for the two of you.

I am sure that you will have a nice visit today. When I worked in the long term care sector, years ago, we had a residential wing and an extended care wing. I was the activity director. Some activities I could do for the entire facility such as seasonal parties and weekly bingos, as the 'better' ones would assist those who required help with bingo. Some of them would even help out with portering residents from the heavy care wing. The aides would employ their help for that. I had special activities that I would have for the extended care folks. I would have everything from baking sessions to having residents (with dementia) in while I played music and had them fold the facecloths and towels, they always found that very relaxing especially on days when they were agitated. I would do chair exercise groups for each wing, and reality orientation simple crafts and so on. I would think that they would do the very same.

I hope you got to visit, The important thing is how his well-being is. Has he gotten used to this idea or is he depressed? Blessings to you both and I hope you had a good visit,

I hope there is a go get 'em activity director in that place.

Most care facilities have a wide range of activities and are required to document attendance and refusals. At least where I have worked. You should see an activity calendar posted in his room as well as menus. I hope they are doing a good job.

I am glad you will be able to see him today, and get a gander of his new digs.

Why didn't you think of doing that before deciding to put him in long term care? Addationally, if he isn't aided up and kept clean or premitted to move and join others, that's criminal neglect and the place would be shut down.

I pray he'll hang on to this phone for the long haul. I pray everything will go as you want it to.

It’s so sobering and sad that the money being paid is for WHAT? You could put him at a Hampton Inn for half the price (and probably better service).

I hope everything will be okay for him and you. Prayers

Long-term care will be a whole new ball game for you both. I hope the home makes some effort to entertain the residents.

Hopefully it was a good visit. Hopefully it looks good and there is a better roommate than he's had in the past.

I’m so glad you’ll see him today.

I worked in a home like that I hope there will be a lot to keep him busy in the activity room. Being around others who he could have things in common with would be nice.

God bless you and your husband.
