My mom decided that it was time for her to go to assisted living, she wasn't comfortable living by herself. Now she was in Virginia and me in NY with young children. So I looked at options in NY near me and decided it wouldn't work because I would be her ONLY outside contact. She found a home in Richmond where she had a lot of friends nearby. I went for a month to help with the transition and to find and hire a companion who would visit her every day. It was sad for her and for me but it all went very smooth.
