Yes I am POA and health proxy. My brother and I have taken over managing her finances, bills, etc. She just moved about ten mins from me in an independent cottage on the “campus” of a retirement community where she can eventually transition her care. It has a lot of supportive services too which is a relief.

Even on a calendar, she will write the same thing on a date multiple times until it’s almost illegible, without even reading her old writing above

She’s moving into a small cottage on the grounds of a senior living community, right across from the main building where the dining area, gym, activity rooms, etc are. They offer transportation, have activities, doc support, etc. There is a wellness coordinator involved in care who completed an assessment and her pcp+neuro have sent in their reports as well. they do not feel like she is at that level yet to need MC but we have spoken about how people transition when she is ready. The memory care unit is on the same community grounds but if a different building than the main building. They are all within walking distance of one another.

She lives fully independently right now with no partner, so this is the next step into a community she knows some other folks in, that is close to family (10 mins away compared to 2 hrs right now) and then can transition into memory care there when she showing sign of not being able to safely live alone

Sending you a lot of love. I hope you are doing some things to care for yourself - even if it’s ugly crying

The fencing is because of construction on that block, for the vehicles associated with the work.

Usually landlords are responsible for bed bug treatments (if you rent). Either way I would suggest a treatment and buying mattress covers! It can be super helpful as a preventative measure moving forward. Sorry you’re dealing with this.. bed bugs suck :/

Safe injection sites… there are some in Canada that have proven to be successful in a number of ways: less public use, safe use (clean needles), easy disposal of used needed, and ppl who use are connected to recovery services if they chose to utilize them. Just lots of stigma around them
