Thank you for your concern about my mom and try to move her to assisted living, but as far as the nurse on staff is concerned is that my mom is doing ok.

I tell her every day is Groundhog day for my mom, mom still knows who I am I guess that is a plus and I have started taking time out for myself going on road trips for a few days just to clear my head and thoughts

Your mum is in a relatively safe place and there's a staff nurse keeping an eye out. That's good.

So keep living for yourself - road trips, holidays, meeting up with friends. Visit your mum once a week, tops. Less when you need a break.

Take care.

Gary, good for you! Keep taking care of your own needs and you will be a better advocate for your mom.

Nothing wrong with ground hog day for someone that doesn't know it is same old same old.
