Reply #90: My MIL, at age 93, lives in a nursing home. She uses a walker, but

still gets around.

Miz O goes to spend time with her nearly every day.

Last month, the facility took several residents to D.C.

They carry a van full to go shopping once a week. Volunteers from family members go on these visits, in their own vehicles, so that every resident has someone to assist them with their shopping if desired/required.

I bake cookies and brownies for their weekly 'tea party.' After my sister died in August, we donated her collection of tea sets to the facility to spruce up their parties.

It is a nice place, and MIL gets better care than she could get if she lived with any of her children - all of whom are in their 60s to 70s.
