Glad things went okay on day 2 ... my best advice, learn every staff member's name ... learn something about them that you can converse with them about when you visit ... bring them treats ... sounds ridiculous, but the better connection they feel to you, the more "personal" care they will have with your mom. Sad but true! And definitely take time away ... caregiver burnout is a real thing ... and in the long run does no one any favors.
