Re: Care home appointment
Well it all went as well as I hoped Beautiful place inside & out. Mum can have a downstairs room that comprises of a small lounge that will fit her 2 seater sofa & chest/table. There's a tv point & her sky dish can be put there as I haven't cancelled her account to keep her in their loop. There's a phone point that can be activated too. It has patio doors that lead out to a patio area and a seat and room for her pots etc. The lounge leads to a single bedroom that has a lovely wardrobe and a chest of drawers and a window overlooking the gardens.. and off that is an en suite with wet room style shower etc. She can have it however she wants and if she wants to have it redecorated she can. They were lovely people and we were met at the door by Judith who was dressed as a daffodil!!!! The emphasis is that its not their carehome its the residents home and they can do whatever they want and come and go as they please so i'll be able to take her out & about There's a very nice room where they have music, dancing, piano and is a kind of social area. Then theres a big lounge if they choose to sit and watch tv together and a restaurant area but they can eat in their room if they prefer. They are big on fun and humour which will suit mum as she cant be doing with miseries lol There's ramp paths around the outside so staff can take them for a wander around the gardens and a greenhouse is going up soon for those who like to use them. There was a lovely feeling of happiness there and when my friend & I went into the day room most of the residents waved and greeted us like old friends One old lady was carrying a bowl of soup a half chewed roll to try and take it to the kitchen and Judith was so gentle with her and helped her and I felt very comfortable around her. They were having a party this afternoon for St Davids day and some people had painted decorations and they'd made welsh cakes yesterday. So mums having her assessment done today or tomorrow and if everything's ok she can move in next week. All in all a very happy place to be in and it smelt lovely too!! Im funny with smells and so's mum lolRe: Care home appointment
I hope she will be happy there.
