[quote=Anonymous]How do they live in this large house? Do they inhabit separate areas? If yes, then moving to a senior community may be complicated. If they are in the same small apartment/room after years of coexisting in different rooms in the same home, then that might be volatile. And to live in separate rooms at the same time can be cost prohibitive for some folks.

Moving to a memory care unit in a senior community was great for our mom. She needed the socialization, even if she sat to the side during activities and only offered opinions on what they were doing. "Gladys, you've used a lot of blue there. You may want to go with a new color." The staff was great - nothing but positive things to say about them.

My dad had already passed away when my mom moved to the community, so we were only carrying the cost for one room. How much it would run, if necessary, for your parents to be in separate rooms would be determined by the level of care each one needed as well as the location of the senior community. Findlay, OH is much less than Bethesda, MD. [/quote]
