[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you found a CCRC that will take your FIL as a direct entry to memory care? CCRCs usually want people to enter at the IL level so they can establish ties to the community before they're more limited [/quote]

There's been no looking yet. What happens when someone has been at home until their needs are no longer able to be met there?[/quote]

Some CCRCs will take you as a "per diem" patient, but it's more expensive.

Other people move to nursing homes or other care facilities that are only for people who can't manage independent living (CCRCs/life plan communities are for people who are ready to move but don't need care yet, with the understanding that staged support is available as needed)[/quote]

Got it - helpful - TY for sharing that info.

FiL is able to live "independently" as MiL is still there. No way he could live on his own. He definitely has memory issues, but is not a flight risk, at least at this time. He only leaves the house to walk with MiL and the dog or with the aide. [/quote]
