[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a good chance your mom is depressed and would be no matter where she is. It's a common story when they are aging in place to be depressed because...adult children don't do enough/visit enough/care enough/call enough. Then in assisted living they are depressed because there are too many old people and sure they complain about adult children too, but you can now scapegoat the facility. Then you move then and they are depressed because they don't make friends or there is something wrong with that facility. Treat the depression. It will help her make friends and bloom where she is planted. This generation has not learned to be self-reflective. It is common to blame everything for depression.[/quote]
