Where are we today?
Stratford, Ontario
Last night after I got home, George called me and said there might be a bed available at the Stratford Perth Rotary Hospice today or Friday. https://www.stratfordperthhospice.ca/. If the link works, I will be amazed since I have not done this before.
This morning when I got to the hospital this was at his door. It is for everyone entering to be compassionate and respectful.
Big screen TV and fireplace.
Supper was Sloppy Joe's, wedge roasted potatoes and real ice cream (what he had before was frozen yogurt). He ate it all.
We have started a list of things he wants in his room that I put on my calendar to bring tomorrow. Needless to say that list will be ongoing as he thinks of things. There are plans to decorate his room for Christmas and we will be using our decorations from the RV. It sounds like decorating day will be Sunday with his kids.
He was very alert this morning, especially when he saw the cold cereal I brought from home.
This is a secure building. You need buzz and be admitted in. You also need to sign in and out of the person you will be visiting.
There is a cook there that does the shopping and anything you might want he will get it for you. We will get an idea of the meals that are done there, so if you don't want it, you can bring anything he might want in. There is a microwave that we can use to heat anything up. One of the first things he asked for was a steak and bacon and eggs.
There is an area where the family can something to eat. Soup, crackers, dessert and snacks are available.
I took a brief tour of the facility and it is awesome.
We received so much information in a short period of time and they realize that we will not remember it all. We are on a new adventure.
George did very well for being alert and sleeping much. When I left he was ready to sleep.
One Day At A Time
What a beautiful wonderful place❤️
ReplyDeleteWow, clicked on the link, it is a beautiful building. Very happy George was able to be transferred and that you have a place to stay with him if you want.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful!!! George’s room looks terrific!!! I know he’ll be comfortable there!!! Can’t wait to see the Christmas decorations you all put up!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers continue!!!
Wow! Such a nice big room!! Cool Suzie can stay if she wants. George you look so much better!! I’m glad to hear you are in such good hands. Hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLovely big room, it will be fun for the kids to decorate for Christmas. It will be a much nicer space fro you to visit. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place. This should help George to relax comfortably and enjoy visitors better. Your link worked perfectly. Although you are doing great with the blog Suzie, I sure will be glad to see one from George again.
ReplyDeleteThat room looks great. Suzie will be comfortable when visiting now. I know that there is nothing more tiring than spending time with someone in hospital because the chairs and stuff are not comfortable. This room looks like it will be more like a living room for you guys and Suzie can crash there. And it sounds like you will have your own chef!! Maybe you can show him some tricks on the Webber.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful facility and appears that the staff will be kind and caring to you, George and the family. My prayers continue for all of you.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's George, still smiling.
ReplyDeleteWOW this is like a 5 Star Hotel! What a wonderful and comfortable room and other sitting areas are so nice. When my Dad was in hospice they had this chair that opened into a sleeping thing it was awful and it would keep seperating as I slept and my butt would be touching the floor and the rest of me was fighting to not fall all the way throught and be stuck in the middle. I finally just slept sitting up.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, will have some great food to eat in this place and so will you Suzie.
What fun to have the kids come and decorate the room for Christmas.
Geeezzzzz George if I knew you were having Sloppy Joes I would have been right over to help you eat them. Looks like you have moved to the Ritz. Keep up the good work Suzie your doing fine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking facility and it's a lot closer to the apartment so you won't have so far to drive after dark. Keeping you both in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe!
It's about time.
Sounds like it is great for all your family to enjoy and decorate.. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. Both of u & family will be much more comfortable.Thinking of everyone & sending prayers & warm fuzzy thoughts. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for Christmas! You're in our thoughts every day! Tell George I say hi and to keep eating the good stuff!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place and it is nice to see a big smile on George's face despite everything that he is going through. Please say hello to him for us and please continue to take care of yourself Suzie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great room. You will enjoy time with the family there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like George is in a much nicer place with better accommodations for you as well. We are thinking of you both and sending prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteSteak, bacon and eggs, okay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice facility! This should be a good place for George and your family and friends. No doubt the care will be good and the food to George’s liking. Seems like an A plus place.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear he was moved from the hospital. The new place is so much nicer and it's wonderful there is a nice sofa and bed for you. You both need to be comfy. The fireplace is a nice touch as well. I'm glad he's eating well.
ReplyDeleteHospice facilities are wonderful. Best wishes and prayers for George!
ReplyDeleteThis is where my sister volunteers in the kitchen, she raves about how nice this place is. Happy that you got in. Hugs and prayers, great job Suzie.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Soooo much nicer than a hospital room, lots of room for you, Suzie, to relax. this didn't take long at all. Enjoy the food!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great digs he has moved into - hang in there Suzie!
ReplyDeleteWow, some nice digs there folks. Looks very comfortable and inviting. Just what you need now. I'm sure George will be convincing them to purchase a Weber and be giving cooking ideas before long. Nice to know they take care of both of you!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that room could be bigger than the apartment! Happy he was able to get in and the family will be able to join you for Xmas. Much love.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot better than a hospital room:))
ReplyDeleteHospice is a totally different atmosphere than the hospital. George will get much more attention and personal care here as well as better food. Plus the bonus of a comfortable place for Suzie to spend the night. I have been busy the past few days and missed your updates but I am all caught up now. Both of you are in my thoughts and are the recipients of many positive thoughts every day! Keep on truckin' George!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing facility. It looks as if you will have all the comforts you both might need. How nice that you can decorate the room for Christmas. It will be great to spend it with your family. George, just keep smiling, you look great. Continued prayers for you both.
ReplyDeleteThis is a blessing...such wonderful facilities and the best of care. Plenty of room for you to be comfortable too Suzie. Love his big beautiful smile...know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place, but there is no place like you motorhome. My wife Ruth and I enjoyed visiting with you both, but now my wife, Ruth, passed away. I am so depressed and can't keep the tears out of my eyes. We had been together since junior high and married for almost 6o years. She sure is missed by me and the dogs. Just thought you would want to know.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. So glad we were able to meet you. Sue
DeleteWhat a difference in rooms! George, you will be so much happier in the new place. Sounds like the food is a big improvement as well. Just wait until Suzie gives the place her personal touch.
ReplyDeleteWow Suzi I just had a chance to watch the video on the Hospice website, it looks like a beautiful, peaceful, place to be.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place for George to move to. So many plusses. Good for George most of all, Suzie, family and friends. Suzie you are become a master blogger. Thank you/
