It's rough, my mother is 91 1/2 and very weak. She slid out of her recliner 2 weeks ago and I had to spend 6 hrs in the ER so they could do a head scan before I could bring her back to the assisted living. They are very strict. She hit the top level of care now with aids assisting with everything, $12,000 a month. She currently has one of the deluxe suites, and I am going to have to move her to a studio to make things easier.
My wife is from Indonesia. Her mother fell and broke her hip years back, but was not healthy enough for surgery. One of her sisters that is a retired nurse moved her into her house and we sent money to pay for a full time aid to assist. When we visited, her mother was not able to speak, but she enjoyed holding my hand while I talked to her while my wife would translate. She passed away a few months after our visit. I couldn't make the trip, so my wife took 3 weeks off and went back without me. It's never been easy for her to be so far from the rest of her family.
