The Michigan Long Term Care Companion
How to make the system work for you and what to do when it doesn’t.


Planning & Decision-Making

A Place for Mother
(An excerpt)

by Joanne Seltzer


More Advice

Have a daughter-to-mother talk.
Ask her what she wants.
If she doesn’t know
ask her if she’s happy.
She will either say
she doesn’t know
or she will be silent.
Tell her how much you love her.
Promise you won’t forsake her.
