It was hard for Bill to see his aunt struggling with mobility, health, and hygiene issues. She’d had multiple falls at home, and she wasn’t eating much because cooking nutritious meals had become too difficult to manage. Even with in-home care, Gertrude wasn’t able to live the life she deserved. At age 95, her mind was still sharp, and even though she didn’t want to move to an Assisted Living community, she knew it was the right choice.
“I talked to her and discussed my concerns,” Bill said. “It was a hard talk, but it was necessary. She didn’t want to move, but she knew she needed to.”
