My mom lives in an assisted living place. Her caregivers tell me about how sad it is that the majority of people there hardly have any visitors. I visit my mom every other day and call her when I am not there.

It is sad. I can see how that is an issue.

My wife worked in a SunRise assisted living place in California. She would tell me that few occupants received visitors. Most were abandoned by their families. I think the church needs to step up in this area.

Kudos to you! When my mother, who has passed on, was in a nursing home, I tried to visit her every day. Baby Your Mother, a hit from the early months of 1928 became my theme song.

I have had one of my dogs certified as a therapy dog and we visit assisted living homes. The old people who are stuck there appear bored out of their minds. They sit in their wheelchairs and stare at a TV screen but I am not sure they are even listening to the program. The majority enjoy visiting with the dogs (and with us) but it is for such a small amount of time. God Bless you for visiting your mother so often. I pray to God that I don't end up in a place like that.

I recognized loneliness and depression in my Mom 12 years ago as she was living in Fla and we were all up here in GA. I got her to sell her house and buy a house across the street from us. Now she has an active social life, church friends and sees me everyday.
