Keeping My Parents Happy

After years of helping my parents in the comfort of their own home, I became a little concerned about their ability to care for themselves. My mom was increasingly forgetful and my dad was starting to have problems walking, so I decided to start exploring the possibility of working with a nursing home and assisted living facility. I was able to find an incredible team of professionals who really worked hard to meet the needs of their patients, so I enrolled my parents that very day. I wanted to begin a simple blog to help other people to determine which facility is right for their family members. Check it out!
