Hello Ruth!
RH> I know at least one other unit (visiting with my MIL) had a stove so I
RH> presume more were working at one time. Then, as more people moved in
RH> with Althezheimer's or other dementias, the managment disconnected the
RH> stoves for safety reasons.
Oh interesting. I know the assisted homes around here only have the shared kitchen / dining room you can book if you are having family etc. I believe someone has to sign a form stating they are in charge of the stove as well.
RH> It worked well for 2 people who didn't get out that much. Before they
RH> moved there, they lived in an "over 55" manufactured home community
This is what I wish my parents would have done. Instead they bought a condo townhouse and promptly dad got involved in running the entire place. Mom got him to step down a few years back though. So now he's just all alone when she goes out.
SH>> I saw my sister in person... probably 8 years now.
RH> It's been close to that for me.
I don't feel so bad now. I always think I'm a bad brother, but whenever I make the drive she is busy, and even though her husband and her visit a store half a block from here they won't pop in.
SH>> Same here. I'd never want to go back to a tent.
RH> I'd have a hard time getting up from the ground. (G)
I can still get up from the ground. However I don't enjoy it. :) Pain levels are through the roof on a good day right now.
