I am praying for you and your family..It's a big change and a hard one when your loved one enters a facility, I know personally. But I just bet you and your mother will be visiting lots. Don't hesitate to ask the staff questions....Also there are things called care plan meetings, one or b oth of you can participate in those. There is also something called a residents council where loved ones of residents and residents themselves can attend to make suggestions, etc. If you need assistance from a third party - as in a complaint or question situation, there are programs called Long Term Care Ombudsman to help as well....
Bet when you were picking peas with me, I didn't look like I could find my way out of a pea patch....smile
