Title: Maplewood Senior Living: The Decision
Time: 5 min 41 sec

Transcript:
making the decision as to whether it's time for assisted living or additional care is one that adult children often really struggle with there's guilt there's denial there's angst about having the conversation how to make the move and what we often tell families that they need to do is focus on the emotional concerns that you as an adult child are having and your concerns for them and their safety and well-being I had started noticing memory loss just a lot of things were happening that I could tell she wasn't my mom she wasn't the same person and things kept escalating and it was dangerous she left at one time I went there and there was a paper towel roll that was half burnt and I said mom what happened here oh I think it just got caught on the stove but I saved it my house it burned down and she was very defensive about it and it was a sign to me that this is not the right place she should not be alone here I think the first thing I really saw was when I would go over the house wasn't picked up at all she tended to wear the same clothes she wouldn't know how to make a phone call anymore she didn't know her address and I said oh it's time it's time to look into something one of the other obstacles that sometimes get in the way of making a decision is over involving the person with memory loss in the decision-making but to ask a person who's having memory loss if they want to go really is a way to for families to relieve their guilt absolutely felt guilty you know am i doing the right thing but then I also had a social worker come talk to her and observe her and every and everybody said you're doing the right thing it's not a safe situation so that made me feel better and I said yeah even if she cries even if she gets upset she will adjust and in the long run it's the best thing for her families aren't always on the same page especially children who don't live nearby who don't see it who haven't been as involved their guilt is compounded because they feel the need of maybe they should have done there more maybe they should have done more and not everybody needs to agree on the decision but everybody needs to agree on the decision-maker my younger sister felt we were kidnapping her then of course when she saw my mother and spent a little time with her she was very upset she said I'm so sorry I acted that way I had no idea how bad it was you know when you're long distance to talk to somebody on a phone they can kid you you know they make it sound short and sweet then you don't see what it's really like overall my brothers really stood behind me but they just didn't want to be the bad guy they don't stay live far away they don't see her enough they want their time with her to be pleasant and so it needed to be it needs to be me it needs to be somebody and I just think that any other family going through it needs to have at least one spokesperson to stand up because I wonder if my mom hadn't moved what would have happened to her what would have what awful thing and then how bad we are one of the hardest conversations I have with adult children sometimes is that as they're making these decisions for their loved ones which are the right decisions is that your mom or dad may not talk to you you may not be popular in the eyes of your parents but there comes a point in the disease process of a decision-making process where being popular isn't the top priority it's getting them the quality of care they deserve we planned out the whole thing and said we were going to move her in and we didn't say much to her the night before she came here we moved her furniture in and she didn't even know and then we we kept talking to her about it she was adamant I'm not going she was mad at me and she you know things were not good between us until she had a fall and as she broke her shoulder and as awful as it was it was the best thing that could have happened because it precipitated her to go to physical therapy in a nursing home after surgery and from there I was able to say the doctors don't want you to go home and we brought her here we spent the whole day with her and had meals with her and they welcomed her wonderfully I mean they were just so nice they met her at the door it's the fear it's the anxiety it's the uncertainty of what's around the corner but once they get around the corner and they are feeling supported and their emotions are honored and they're feeling successful my residents adjust to a better quality of life during this transition a lot of times have been hard and she's been mad and frustrated with me and resentful of things of making her move and lose her independence and all that but I don't see any of that anymore it's just the personal attention she's getting here is really amazing she's blossomed she just adjusted beautifully she never said I want to go home she just did really well so to me it was like a blessing was such a success story because I was the care was gonna get calls in the middle of the night I want to come home she's just really adjusted beautifully we completely understand that this is the first time that her adult children are doing this move we've done it a thousand times and we can give you our knowledge to work with the adult children and make the move successful Maplewood is appealing to a lot of people nothing has been missed everything has been thought of was just very everybody and everything I know she's gonna be taking care and that just makes me feel so great you
