[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she has enough money for either option, definitely do the continuing care facility - especially since you're far away. We were in a similar place with my dad and it was such a relief not to have to deal with a second search/move. Remember that you often don't the luxury of time when it comes to nursing care - a crisis happens and you're dealing with the ER and insurance and god knows what else. Having an assured spot in a place you know and trust is a godsend at that moment.[/quote]

That definitely would be my choice, but she needs to find a place right now, and these were the only ones she would agree to.   No, I wouldn't want her to move into nursing care right away -- for one thing that would be phenomenally expensive when it isn't what she needs!  When she recovers from her injury she should still have several years of ability to live on her own, just with some extra help.

I don't think she'd enjoy living with someone in her townhouse 24-7.[/quote]
