My mother is getting on in years and both her and I agree that she should no longer live alone.
It’s not that she is going senile or losing her mobility.
She doesn’t need a nursing home or anything, it’s just that seniors are prone to both falls and victimization. There is safety in numbers, so I was on the hunt for a place for Mom to live. I was looking for a home that rented rooms specifically to senior citizens. Let me tell you, that was not easy to find. There are senior living centers and assisted living facilities everywhere, but I only found four seniors only boarding houses. My next requirement was a yard or garden mother could sit and enjoy. Mother has severe allergies and can’t really comfortably spend much time outdoors, but she did relish time she could sit outside. One of the homes I found for mother had no yard and was scratched off the list. Another requirement was a whole house air purification system, or at least air purifiers in all the public rooms. I preferred a whole house air purification system and considering I was down to three choices, I didn’t want to be too picky. One of the homes that I looked at for mother had no air purification systems at all! That left me two homes to choose from. One I visited was actually a little chilly. They had the air conditioning turned down low. Although I know that helps prevent the spread of illness, I would hate to put my mother in a place that was cold all the time. That’s why I felt air purifiers were important. I did finally find the perfect place for Mom and it all ended well.
