My mom is living with us now. Both my parents lived with me, then they went to a retirement home in Seattle after my mom broke her femur. Then my dad died in December and my mom went into hospital two hours after he passed away for emergency bowel blockage surgery. Then she was out of it for three months in a rehab and now is with us. I think it is wonderful to look after a parent, but also as a caregiver it is taxing and exhausting. I am excited about having her in The Villages in Assisted Living and being able to drive my golf cart to pick her up and take her for a ride, have a nice day together, and then take her home to her own place where she can have friends of her own which are easy to visit with right outside her apartmentand activities that suit her.
