My dad thrived in assisted living. He was surrounded by people his own own age and had help taking showers and getting dressed. He was always so clean. He never had to worry about doing laundry or housework again. I wished we would have gotten him into one sooner. I didn't realize how social he was until he went there. So, I hope you mom enjoys it as much as my dad did.
I'm glad you are not selling your mom's quilting items. Donating them will be appreciated so much more. All the people have already mentioned a lot of great places. There is always the Senior Center, too. I am sending a sewing machine to a women's prison. I know it will be used and loved there. That idea just seemed right to me.
