A very important book!
I am looking for a support group in the Northwest or west suburbs for people with parents in Nursing homes. It is an exhausting and emotionally draining experience and very sad. I live in Bloomingdale, IL and my Mom is in a Nursing home in Bloomingdale. She is unhappy and does not like the home. The big problem for her is she wants a private room and Medicaid does not offer a private room at this facility. Also they matched her with a roommate much younger who plays loud music and has visitors late at night and she goes to sleep very early. She has only been there 1 month. Should I ask to have her room changed or do I move her to a different Nursing Home and hope it is better. Also they are short staffed with only 1 and 1/2 aids to each wing. There are other issues, so I do need a support group who is going through similar problems.
