Quoted from o-din:

It's as good as it gets around here I guess. The reason mom has to be moved is she is 97 and has tried to escape from the place several times and they don't want to be responsible. It's tough to watch your parent lose her mind, but that's been going on since I was a child. She does love her root beer float though.

She's lucky to have you nearby where you can help her out. My wife's parents are in their 90's and in Florida which is 1200 miles away and refuse to move back north to Pa. They don't want to move into a retirement home either.

Quoted from o-din:

Just wanted to update. I am so happy I got mom into where she is now. After the first week, the paranoia and the get me out of here were all gone.
Up until recently, I visited on a regular basis and her health and memory were way improved. I also noticed how clean they kept the place and they are taking every step possible to prevent their residents from getting sick right now.
Just got off the phone with her and she is like the mom of old. Chipper and upbeat. I am keeping her aware of the unfolding events so she can know what's happening an why we are not visiting at the moment.
I will repeat what I said a few months ago. If I had left her where she was, I probably would never be able to live with myself. And there is no moving anybody now. I can rest easy. At least for now.

So good that she is happy where she's at. I wouldn't go visit, not sure if you can. Here in Pa. most nursing homes are not allowing visitors.
Stay safe!

Sorry for your loss, sounds like she went peacefully in her sleep. My wife's parents are 96 and 93 in Florida and last year we put them in a nice assisted living place. The only bad thing is they're 1200 miles away.
