It is Time

oops, my post went out late this afternoon, I forgot to set the time when I pre-posted.

Spotted over the fence:




My sister has decided it is time to apply for my mom to go to a long term care home. My mom shares a house with them and she is well taken care of.  They are feeling the strain of her care as she needs help with most things. The application process can take years so it is a delicate question of timing. You go on a waiting list but if there is an opening she has to go or else you are put at the bottom of the list. We will be going on a tour of our first choice home early next week. It will be a new stage of life and learning for us all.
