[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,
Recently found out I was made power of attorney for a former colleague. She has been diagnosed with advanced Alzheimer’s.

We had found a place for her at sunrise in the memory care unit. However after the evaluation by sunrise, the care coordinator told me she needs 1 to 1 assistance. Meaning, In order to accept her to the sunrise memory care facility, we would need to staff someone from an outside agency for much of the day (and maybe night) which’s significantly increases he cost.

She has about 300k in savings/assets, which may or may not be a lot depending on how long she lives. She has no comorbidities.

Sunrise is already 10k a month for memory care. Adding in the 1:1 staffing makes the cost astronomical (I haven’t even calculated the exact number to be honest).

I am in Arlington and was hoping for something nearby. However, now I’m not sure what to do or what I should be looking for. Please let me know any suggestions/thoughts/recommendations.
