[quote=Anonymous]Moving is hard. But also, independent living ended up being kind of a waste for my MIL. She had an OK experience for the few years she was there, but when she needed more care, the care available in assisted living was poor because of staffing issues, and she didn't really retain her friendships from independent living (partly because she was declining, partly because they were, partly because moving to a new building made it hard). It ended up being a very unhappy situation, she had to move within the community a few times, and each time she became more disoriented. She would have been better off staying in her original living situation and then moving to assisted living somewhere (near us) when needed. [/quote]
