Victory is Mine!

The meeting went so incredibly well yesterday. The director of the facility changed his tune entirely; I think in part because there was serious follow-up from the person at corporate that I touched base with. There were two people at the facility on Mom's floor from corporate who work in the area of activities, just randomly around the same time as our meeting. The floor coordinator told me that they had spoken about how to make activities that are appropriate for Mom's interests and level. (Yea!)

The director promised us that Mom will start getting 2-4 activities in the morning, 2-4 in the afternoon, and 1-3 in the evening - each 15-20 minutes long. She'll also start getting her care plan implemented, which we updated a bit as well. The director said we should start seeing things get better almost immediately.

And I went up there last night, and there was an activity going on - the first time in a long time that I've seen this - with 15 people participating, and it went on until about 8:30pm. Of course, the staff left after about 15 minutes and family members led it, but it is still a big improvement. Oh, and there were staff around the whole time, so when I needed something (they didn't give my mom clean towels, they just took her dirty ones), there was someone to ask.
