All change is chancey but you have done your homework. One final suggestion...carefully read the small print on the contract.
Suggestion for moving...one team takes her to lunch while the other team moves her stuff. You could start taking things out bit by bit early.

If I got put in memory care , I hope my kids would put me in the cat/ aviary/ art studio/ garden one. Sounds so nice! Can’t wait to hear how all that affects her. I’m sure it will be positive .

M1 I have been absent from here. I pray daily and I know how hard these discussions can be. I'll be praying for this time of transition.

Thanks Stewart. Got to go for lunch today with her old trim carpenter, who is like a son to her. She knew him--took a minute, but she did--and I made the first stab at telling her that I couldn't take her home, but I was going to try to get her to a place that was better than here. It fell kinda flat. Probably won't try again, I just was testing it out. He was able to distract her quickly, and I'm sure she won't even remember the conversation. But it's so needed---she will hardly come out of her room now at all. Can't come soon enough in fact. I hope I'm not too late.
