Wired

Ok, Mom will be connected to what we laughingly call the real world when she arrives on Tuesday.  I just got off the phone with a very nice lady at Cablevision, and they will be thrilled to install the famous Triple Play (phone, TV and Internet) in her apartment on Monday, July 29.   We don't need to actually be there, as Atria will let them in the apartment.  Here's what she's getting:

Phone: unlimited US calling (also Canada, USVI and some other places) and 15 features!  Her new phone number is:

            (516) 284-6495

TV: Economy Package, which includes the two important ones she specified - The Food Network and HGTV - and also

Animal Planet - Animal Planet HD†- Bloomberg TV - Bloomberg TV HD† - Boomerang - Cartoon Network - Cartoon Network HD† - 
CNN - CNN HD† - CNN - Headline News - C-SPAN3 - Daystar - Discovery Channel - Discovery Channel HD† - EuroNews - EWTN - 
Food Network - Food Network HD† - fuse - fuse - HD† - HGTV - HGTV HD† - History - History HD† - Hub - 
MSG Varsity - MSG Varsity HD†- MSNBC - MSNBC HD† - News 12 Traffic and Weather -
News 12 Traffic and Weather HD† - ReelzChannel - 
Shalom TV - Telecare - Turner Classic Movies - Turner Classic Movies HD† - TV One - Universal HD† - WE tv - WE tv HD†

I ordered two cable boxes, one for the living room and one for the bedroom.   Mom was very concerned that she have these both.
Internet: not that Mom needs it, but the phone service is VoIP, so it comes along.  I didn't order the wireless modem, but I have some old ones laying around I'll bring over so we can use WiFi when we're visiting. 

The installer will need to have a TV and a telephone in the apartment to make sure everything works, and I understand from Debbie's earlier post that you were planning to bring over a small TV along with the other temporary furnishings on the weekend.  Could someone please donate/lend a phone?  It's only needed until Mom's actual phones get there.  She'll probably need a new cordless set, since there's only one outlet - at the cable modem - and I'm sure she wants more than one phone. 

Shelley - any thoughts on who I should call at Atria to alert them to this?

  1. I'll take care of it. I'm calling today anyway. I chose a Keurig for mom as well as a box of k-cups and had it sent directly to Atria. I'll call it a housewarming gift. Lee/Debbie, would you unpack it Saturday and set it up? I Think there are directions for a 1st cleansing run through.

  3. Also … Nurse Amy called and said Mom has an appointment with the doctor for Tuesday night. He happens to be there that night anyway and they need prescriptions on file even though she may have some with her. I told Nurse Amy Mom will be exhausted but all she needs to do is talk to him for a minute, have her blood pressure taken, and have the prescriptions written up.
