[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL was in assisted because she wanted to be closer to her DH who was in memory care.  [b]After her DH died, she moved out of memory care into regular assisted living[/b].  This was 8 yrs ago.  She is still there and her house, in a very hot housing market, sits empty waiting for her.  The house was put in trust for her and is well maintained.  She’s 89 and we all know she is not going anywhere including back to her house.[/quote]

I'm not understanding this - why was your mother in memory care?  My parents moved into assisted living together in an apartment, and my dad was subsequently moved to memory care for his dementia.  My mom remained in the apartment but visited him daily.  I haven't heard of a case where the spouse actually moves into the memory care portion themselves unless they also require those services.[/quote]

MIL was allowed to be in the memory care unit with her DH because this was a new assisted living facility and they had room.  They lived in their own apt within the memory care unit.  I doubt this would be allowed now since there is a long waiting list for memory care.  [/quote]
