[quote=Anonymous]Make sure the person is bonded and insured. Honestly I would start looking into residential, ideally CCRC (continued care from independent living through nursing). The social part is key and peers help you exercise your brain because they aren't paid to kiss up to you. You are guaranteed meals and while many are understaffed at least there is someone there. No shows at home are a nightmare and even with adaptations a home can turn into a house of horrors. The sooner you rip the bandaid off and have her adapt to a CCRC the better. Much easier to adapt when still quite capable and when social skills are somewhat in tact. Once they adapt my experience has been they do perk up A LOT! The activities make a difference and having some friends to eat lunch with makes all the difference.[/quote]
