We knew things would likely change as Bhavana’s health conditions worsened. Eventually, the day came when a bout with pneumonia led to a lengthy and difficult hospitalization. Bhavana was too weak, frail, and confused to return home. I helped Shreya locate an assisted living facility with a memory care unit and after Bhavana was discharged from the hospital, we moved her to the new location.
Keeping Clothing Simple: Clothing should be easy to put on and wear. Avoid complicated buttons or straps, and even ties can be difficult to manage. Contact Senior Transitions if you need help caring for your aging parent or grandparent by calling (850) 894-6720.
