[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been there and we delayed Memory Care too long to the point nursing home was the only option. For memory care they need to be fully ambulatory usually. [b]The easiest time to make the transition is after a hospital stay-you discuss concerns with medical team. [/b]Then it becomes the doctor's idea and not that you are the evil person doing it. Keep in mind they often try to find the right med mix so the person is compliant. There are fun activities at memory care and good staff at the right place. Visit some to see. You may want to hire a case manager to help with transition and help you negotiate with the place is parent is too difficult.[/quote] Plus, you can couch as, ‘It is only temporary, until you fully recover and we can set up help at home.” Then, keep delaying.
