I watch Rachel on my computer via Sling. If she's able to use a laptop maybe you could get her a subscription and help her get connected to MSNBC when you visit in the evenings.

Often people hate being moved to a care facility for a few days but then come to like it once they settle in. I hope that's the case for her, too. Your visits will help a lot.
