We’re planning a “come to Jesus” meeting with our parents next weekend to talk about them transitioning to assisted living or something with a lot of support. Mom can’t and shouldn’t take care of dad on her own; she tired and could use some help, too. Plus they’re both still driving 😱 but should not
@XSGeek we’re working on finding resources for them - local rides, senior services, etc.
they’ll enjoy assisted living once they realize they’ll have a lot of social outlets (and then dad won’t necessarily have to drive all over to gossip)
Good luck to you all!
Such a hard thing to do but it is in their best interest.
They are lucky to have you! ❤
Family meeting to talk about transitioning to assisted living or some sort of supportive care for mom & dad scheduled for Saturday before we all go out to dinner together. If we meet after dinner we know mom & dad don’t pay attention and having dinner after the meeting will give them time for the message to sink in and for them to ask questions. Plus seeing the grandkids will help drive the message home to take better care of themselves.
