[quote=Anonymous]Can you explain why you think assisted living is better? Are you under the mistaken impression she will receive a more watchful eye and oversight in assisted living? Because she won’t. She is right to resist leaning. Living in an apartment in her daughters house is much better and healthier than assisted living. With the money saved from not paying for assisted living, you could hire part time health care aides to come in and be with her part of the time. There’s this myth that assisted living is best for old people. Frequently it is not. I think the Smiths exist both due to marketing from the industry and because children want that to be true because they want to feel like they are doing the right thing by putting their parents in assisted-living rather than caring for them themselves.[/quote]
