[quote=Anonymous]OP , so sorry to hear about your Dad’s situation. We have gone through this with a family member with Parkinson’s disease and one with dementia. We dreaded the thought of them being in large institutional settings; we knew they would deteriorate more quickly no matter how much time we spent with them. We were able to find small private assisted living facilities that gave excellent care in a home like environment. The cost was much less than in a corporate facility and our relatives were very well cared for. They didn’t have a lot of special events and scheduled activities, but they did more informal activities. I think we got the listing from the county office of aging. A geriatric case manager is also a wonderful idea, although I don’t know of any in the area to recommend. [/quote]
