This is the next in my ongoing series chronicling my year-long quest to find a suitable skilled nursing facility.

It is the first episode I have recorded in my new home at Countryside Meadows Nursing Facility. Because I haven’t been able to record, I’ve been using the Contemplating Life Patreon page as a blog with text-only posts. So, if you haven’t seen them, check them out. They are all available to the public for free.

In this episode, I begin the story of 10 days of respite care at the Greenwood Healthcare Center in early March 2026. That respite care visit was interrupted by a hospitalization at a new hospital.
