Where she is now is really awful. The facility is nice, and the staff are good, but it is literally a warehouse for people waiting to die. It is so creepy walking in there because there are all these old people just sitting there. Vacant stares. Not cards, not watching TV. Not talking with each other. Just sitting there waiting to die. Horrible. I can't imagine MAID could be worse than that. Having said that I would hate to go through it. I lost my #### completely when we put our dog down. I can't imagine what it would be like for family. Like all things it is harder for those left behind. I would probably welcome MAID for my Mom but watching my Dad have to deal with it would be horrible. He broke down when we took her in the first time.
Not fun stuff.
Try to make a joke about that, you sick ####!! I dare you.  |
I know what Ponoka means that's why i asked. My old boss (who also died with dementia and colon cancer) called Ponoka the jitter joint or funny farm. That's another level of fataed facility.
My grandpa would upper cut nurses at the Fanning centre when he was waiting it out to die. My mom would get the weekly phone call and have to rush to the hospital to deal with it. My brother and I were young and stupid(er) and it was horrible but man did we laugh thinking of him and his big fists sucker punching nice nurses. What else can you do at that age. When something is horrible, you gotta make jokes about it.
Does this facility have Jessica Lange singing Bowie's Life on Mars there. Is there a girl with mousy hair? An American Horror Story - Freak Show reference.
