I've been waiting, hoping for something significant and positive to occur before doing another episode, simply so that every post isn't just whining; however, nothing really positive has occurred, so an update. 

Basically, every day is a wait. A wait to see if a scheduled sitter will arrive, be late, how late, or not at all.

Will I get "the call" from the nursing home, that the room is available, and begin the actual admission process and move?

And every day, so far, it's been: no word or more "we're working on it". 

At what point, do I start reaching out to facility #3, when going from #1 and #2.. to #3, from research, is a significant step in the wrong direction of overall care, especially if I'm not interested in placing them like a county away, farther from where I'll mostly be, meaning less visits and overight?
