[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not do the assisted living route. It is a money grab scheme by private equity companies. They will be left with nothing. Do the extra work and find an apartment or condo and then hire help as they need it. We went the AL route and they have successfully separated my parents from half a million with no end in sight, and they are miserable.[/quote] Avoiding a place that offers nothing but Al and is run by a private company is, indeed, a bad idea. But trying to DIY a situation with a condo and hired help is a stopgap at best. Find a nonprofit continuing care option like Asbury Village (former neighbors are very happy there) or Collington (my parents are at a different Kendal, and it's a very well-run organization). Is there an area that would put them close to their doctors? [/quote]
