Moving my dad's center of his world from his adult community 3 bedroom ranch home of 10 years, 60 miles from my home, to a studio apartment in an assisted living complex 3 miles from my house in a span of 5 weeks takes a toll on one's daily ability to thrive.
Observing for years that it would be best to have my dad, I have felt frustration at the physical distance, I have felt frustration with my dad's stubbornness, not to create a new environment closer to me, allowing the family to do life together, more enjoyably, more effectively, or, must more.
Now we have that, yet the conditions created, while meeting needs for my dads safety and well being, and my needs to be able to support him more easily, are not ideal.
Yet they will do.
