Well I bit the bullet and did it - moving mom into AL this week.

Congrats for making the decision. May I highly recommend that you continue to be her strong advocate. Don't be fooled by the glitz of an expensive ALF and think the care matches the cost. The ALF was only good for my Mom until she required further help with dressing, bathing, getting up and ready for bed.

Brave of you! I hope you will both be happy. The only AL's that I have seen are so nice that I WANT to move in!
