Mom Goes from 801 to 301 in style...

On Friday (3/14/2009), I met with the wellness director and head administrator at Amber Court along with Mom and we had a nice long talk about how she would be moving to another apartment there at Amber Court.  It's all good, and Mom is up for the move and ready for a new comfortable bed and routine. Mom understands that Dad is going to need some extra care, and to put it in her words "I could use a good night's sleep, plus Stanley needs the help and it's also good for me!"  On Saturday 3/15/2009 I went to Ambert Court with Joaquin and we cleaned out all of the Mom and Dad's things in 801 and moved the essentials to 301 to get Mom started.  She has all new "pink" bedding (which she loves) along with all the things that make her most comfy.  We did all of this with some help from the staff to move the heaviest of the dressers, etc.  Mom offered to donate clothes and kitchen wares that she is not using any more, and also gave Joaquin a few items, as well as whatever I was interested to take.  There was a mini food-processor and a few dishes that I was able to use, so I grabbed them!
