My mother-in-law made the front page...

My mother-in-law made the front page ... of the web site for the nursing home she's in.  That's her in red at right.  Like many in her condition, she has good days and not-so-good days.  She's physically fragile, too; not a great combination with dementia.  Little injuries, often completely mysterious, seem like almost a daily occurrence – and serious injuries have occurred several times in the past few years.  I hope she's not miserable all the time.  It worries me that we have no way to find out, really, how she's feeling.  The folks at the nursing home have mostly been great, with just a very few instances where we suspected the care was anything else.  But even the people caring for her every day can't reliably tell how she's feeling.  The dementia makes everything about her care very challenging...
