[quote=Anonymous]I have a parent at an Erikson community. In terms of independence and care for them, it has been really helpful in terms of helping to manage health issues as they arise (able to go to skilled-nursing facility/rehab on the same campus, and there is also an Alzheimer's area if that were ever needed) but also still allowing my parent to live independently. Although my parent, who has been there for 8+ years does complain some about the food (although they have the option to cook at their place) and many of the people they have become friends with have passed away. While home health aides aren't cheap, because they are in a community that uses them regularly, when needed they can get them more easily and also as needed (e.g. lower minimum number of hours required they must purchase for the day). And, we have the piece of mind that someone checks on them daily and can get to them quickly if their is an emergency. [/quote]
