Back story is Aunt is finally out of quarantine so we are planning to visit her. We plan to make the first visit brief and see if she needs anything and how she is doing. We got the ball rolling for the Medicaid paperwork so now it’s just a waiting game. Not sure if she will recognize us as she didn’t when she was in the hospital with her UTI and high BP about 2 weeks ago, and we know she will not be happy that we put her there but we really did not have any other choices as home care was out of the question.
Wish us luck 🍀
As to how often to visit, it all depends on your time schedule and how the love one reacts to a visit.
When my Dad moved to senior living, I went every day until I felt he had settled in, then I started to cut back the number of times during the week and how long I would stay. Dad had other visitors so that helped. I wanted Dad to get use to his surroundings, start to recognize the Staff, and the other residents.
The nurse suggested maybe coming 2-3 times a week for now but no more since she seemed to get agitated when we were leaving and don’t want the staff to deal with her irate behavior if that should happen
My LO is in hospice care but fairly stable.
