[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like we got the bait and switch at mom’s independent living facility. There’s a daily list of activities but she’s always the only one there. No one shows up. She wanted an active community - which is how they sold it - but this is not it. She keeps complaining about how old everyone is. She has some aphasia following a stroke and can’t live alone, but I feel like we were bamboozled. So many walkers and aides! It’s not assisted living but it sure seems like it.[/quote]

I think you need to visit yourself a few times and show up to the activities. My mother lied A LOT to pull at our heart strings. My mother also complains about how old people are. Many of those old people are more energetic and active than she is-those younger and those older than she is. I guarantee you if she were aging in place with aides or aging in your home she would complain a lot. Don't enable her. Figure out the situation for yourself and consider hiring a consultant if needed.
