OP, I’m just curious - was she placed from the hospital, or from home? What is her pay or source?

Do you use video chat with your parents in care facilities? Does the staff facilitate?

Ok I visited. She’s angry and sad and begged me to bring her home. But I made friends with the staff and it’s the right decision

You do what you can with the time you have, OP. That's all anyone can do.

I’m someone who knows how awful most skilled nursing facilities are and anything can happen in that timeframe.

I think visiting after a day or so to see if she needs anything and * then* starting the one month clock is reasonable


“Settle in”

As in:

“Become completely dependent upon and compliant with the caretaker regime, without the pesky interference of loved ones.”
