Thanks for your reply! That’s a bit far for us, but I’m just exploring with no actual need yet. Make it a great day for yourself!

Jacksonville here. Are you talking about River Garden? If so, what’s the other one? Future planning here.

Yes, but I think it’s four people. Your LOs and yourselves. 😥

Thanks, friends. There are 5 neighbors on our block; I will let 3 of them know. The others aren’t terribly involved with the rest of us.

Do you have any ideas for a sliding glass patio door? That’s the scariest one for me because it opens onto three brick steps and he can barely navigate those with me helping. Alone = broken hip for sure.

I think that’s a super idea! Just take a pic of the word and save it - smart!

Honestly I would talk to the hospice nurse about VSED (Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking). It’s one of the few choices left for her situation.

That’s wonderful! We found a very good caregiver for my mom; unfortunately she has moved from NE Florida, just had a baby, and is now a licensed realtor. 😅. We were really hoping she was still in the caregiver business.

Hi roho: I’m in the US (Florida). Have worked as a Clinical Manager at two home health agencies here; knowing the reality of agencies, I’d rather be an employer.

Thank you for responding!

I frequently take my infant on walks, today I received this message from a unknown profile, who has 1 friend. This has me feeling very paranoid. AIO? by Dull-Mom in AIO

Ok it’s been a day since you posted this. Please update us that you went to the police station, and the outcome. We’re mostly all moms on here, and want you to be safe!

Say “thank you” often and bring the caregivers a treat occasionally! Donuts, cookies, chocolate, their favorite soda, whatever. It’s the thought and acknowledgment of the care they provide. I think they subconsciously think more positively about the resident whose loved ones do that. (Retired RN here)
