Hospice House

Over the past few days, Mom has remained stable but has not made any huge leaps.  Because she is still bedridden and needs 24-hr skilled care, we have all decided that it isn't safe for her to go home.  Through lots of hard work by the hospital social workers and the hospice liason, she has been accepted at Hospice House.  

Located at 501 Park Street in Charlottesville and operated by Hospice of the Piedmont, this place is a lovely old Victorian home that has been recently renovated.  We were really lucky to get in here; there are only 8 beds and this is the only such facility in the county.

I talked to Mom today.  She just moved in and said that her room is lovely.  She has big windows, a nice view, and a balcony.  Sam and Juniee are going to get her computer set up so she can get online and work on her photographs.

I will soon post about visiting hours and anything else you should know if you want to go see her.
