She gets wonderful, TLC there.
So lucky we found it and they took her in.
All care, meals, therapy, everything is included and she signs over her SS and pension. They are for people of modest means.
Two homes - one for independent living and one for people who need skilled care.
She's now 98, blind, 90% deaf and in a wheelchair.
