[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope it goes well. Fwiw we moved our dad with early Alzheimers into the independent living side of a continuing care community at 80 and one of the things I noticed was how much happier he was. He hated to leave his home, but it lifted a huge weight not to have to worry about all the things he wasn't quite capable of doing on his own. I only realized in retrospect how terrifying it must have been for him. And at his continuing care facility, he had tons of social interaction, which made him so happy! People here often have bad things to say about AL and other types of elder care facilities but I think it's easy to overlook how stressful it is to live alone, even in your long time home, when your capabilities are declining. Good luck![/quote]
