Assisted Living

Mom continues to recover at Harmony House Skilled Nursing and Rehab in Bend. She is going very well and is very upbeat. She is still a little weak and battling yet another infection. They keep extending her stay there, which has worked out well.

Dad is staying with us in Portland for the time being.

Given the amount of care and attention Mom and Dad both need, we've all decided that it's time to move them into assisted living in Portland. I've been doing a lot of research and touring of facilities. We'd like to have them close to my family (they want that too) and feel lucky that there are some nice places close by.

The move will have to happen pretty quickly upon Mom's release from Harmony House.

Dad is in Bend this weekend with some friends. My brother, Jeff, and Uncle Doug will be in Bend this weekend, too. They are working on packing up some obvious items for the move. We will get their house on the market soon.

It'll be a big change and there's a lot of stress right now, but even Dad is getting excited for the move and the comfort of extra attention and help.
