[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could have convinced my mom, same age, to move into AL but she considers it a last stop on the train to death and cried and essentially begged not to go. So she is living with us, which is super hard. She is grateful to be here but she doesn’t understand how much additional work it is to care for her and to arrange things and all the background work with drs, insurance, etc. She did finally agree to someone coming twice a week to help, we are allowing her some control to feel better and twice a week for a little while until she gets used to it but we need someone here every day to help up. It’s too overwhelming with the kids, two dogs, we both work, etc [/quote] Has she toured any of them near you? They really are a new concept in housing for the elderly, and your mom may be picturing a traditional nursing home. There are many assisted living places that are genuinely nice places to live.
