Yesterday

Yesterday my Brother and Sister-in-law drove up from Guthrie so Robin could stay at the house with Bob and Renee and I could go to Winfield to tour the Veteran's Home. I was a little down when we left, Bob had barely been out of bed in two days and had roamed some at night. I liked the home. I feel that Bob would be cared for and safe there. I had all the documents with me I needed to start the process of having him move there. I got home and Bob was up. His eyes were twinkling like his old self. When they left to go home he wanted a nap. He had barely eaten that day or the day before. The nap was over about 6 and Bob ate pretty well for me. It was clear that he had enjoyed having Robin there.He went back to bed at 9 with very little trouble at all. This leaves me feeling encouraged about how Bob will do at this Veteran's Home if he is accepted. They have a place he can be outside safely, and a library, and good, consistent staffing.He will get physical therapy there. Podiatry there. I had scrambled the day before we went and found all kinds of documents that I MIGHT need. I filled out a lengthy packet. I had all the documents I needed. Next step is the admissions person requests his records from the VA and sends in the packet. We get a care assessment for Bob. Care assessment has to be done for any nursing home admission.
