Choosing to Move My Mom into Assisted Living (and What Move in Day Looked Like)

When do you know it's time? For months, I told myself I would know when it was time to move my mom into assisted living. So I set three benchmarks — three lines in the sand that would tell me we couldn't keep doing this at home. In this video, I share what those benchmarks were, the moment that finally made the decision for us, how I chose her facility, and what move-in day was really like. If you're caring for a parent with Alzheimer's or dementia and dreading this decision, I hope this helps you feel a little less alone in it. In this episode: • The 3 benchmarks I set for knowing when it was time • What actually happened that made us decide • How I toured and chose her assisted-living facility • Move-in day — the honest version 💬 I'd love to hear from you: if you've been through this, what was your "it's time" moment? The stories you shared in the comments on Episode 1 meant the world to me. ▶️ Episode 1: The Day I Found Out My Mom Had Alzheimer's Dementia —    • The Day my Mom was Diagnosed with Alzheime...   🔔 Subscribe to Holding My Own for more on caregiving, family, and holding my own through all of it. 📱 TikTok & Instagram: @ThisIsHoldingMyOwn #Alzheimers #Dementia #Caregiver #Caregiving #AssistedLiving #SandwichGeneration
