This picture was taken of my mom and dad when they had a going away party for him at Harbor Senior Care on January 31st. Dad is now at Waterford Memory Care facility. It's a lot cheaper, gives him his own bedroom, and has a lot more room for him to walk around with his walker. At first the move to Waterford was stressful due to the number of times he was falling, but as the staff got to know him and hospice got safety measures set up for the facility, things have improved. As of March 2023, Dad is starting to show some balance and motor improvements in walking with a wheeled walker now that he has more room to practice. Cognitively, he's also starting to improve but with vascular brain disease we just don't know when he'll take another downturn in his thinking or moving abilities. So we're thankful for what we have. The girls and I continue to visit him on Sundays when they return to my house and on Saturdays at the end of my week with the girls.
