Mom has always been a very independent person. Always busy. Always trying to do. Too much at times. And she had become tired and frustrated in the past year or so because she could no longer keep up with her daily routines. Then too she started sending her weekday companion home after a couple of hours instead of the 6 hours she was paid to stay with Mom.

So she was ready to move into a Senior Independent Living Facility. Her new residence is only a mile east of my sister's home where she has lived for the past 13 years. It is also a just a little over a half a mile from my home. So she is remaining in the neighborhood.

Mom will have her own Studio Apartment. She has an interior ground floor room in this two story building.

I drove her to her new place on Sunday morning and stayed a couple of hours watching the Sacramento Kings game on television. Then her Resident mentor would take her to lunch at the dining room. I sat at her table until she got her food; then I left. My sister and her friend would be there after lunch to bring a weeks worth of Mom's clothes and a few other items.

Three meals a day, seven days a week. And the dining room has waiter service.

The daily lunch specials are available from 11:30AM to 1:00PM and the daily dinner specials from 4:30PM to 6:00PM. Besides breakfast items there is a café menu available that has sandwiches and salads.
