Mom has a young woman who is her caregiver on Tuesday afternoons. Mom loves her. And she tells her so! I am able to see them interact as Nicole usually stays until 5:30. They seem to have a great time together. Mom was chewing gum because she saw Nicole chewing gum and wanted some, so Nicole gave her a piece. I'm so glad that Mom enjoys her afternoons with Nicole. I'd like to have her come more often but she is a student and has school in the mornings.

Any chance you could get her more often during spring break or summer recess? It's worth a try!

Glad your mom was having a good time with Nicole and the gum!

it is so nice to hear your mom found a connection with nicole. any chance nicole could come on an evening to give you a night out? would you be willing to let her study once mom is down for the night? (not sure how early your mom goes to bed)

Betsy and Nancy have good ideas! I'm glad you've found a caregiver that your mom really likes.
