Down to Devon (Honiton) to see my mum and sister on Friday, returned yesterday. We went to Seaton (my sister, me and her youngest son Adam) to see my mum in the nursing home she reluctantly moved into on Thursday. It's a really pleasant place which we picked out for her http://www.checkhouse.co.uk/, with a feel of the four star hotel about it. The staff are friendly, attentive and caring. Like many people Mum has a fear of being put in a home by her children and forgotten. No danger of that (the forgotten part) but she still mutters darkly occasionally about it when we visit. Ho hum. There's no alternative. She needs 24 hour care with no small amount of nursing input. Since neither my sister nor I are trained nurses and both our homes have numerous steps between rooms it isn't possible to have her living with us. She's still adjusting to the situation but I think she'll come to enjoy it.
