[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than the difficulty of managing staff yourself, it seems like a better deal to get private care in a normal apartment. Or am I missing something?[/quote] What 9:44 said - socialization. My mom remained at home for too long for sundry reasons. When she finally made the move, it really boosted her spirits to be in contact with people throughout the day. It wasn't perfect, but much, much better than being isolated at home. Will add: she moved to a non-profit memory care program. In my experience, comparing all my elder relatives' experiences, the non profits are a lot better, including that the staff seem to be more content with the post and committed to good care.[/quote]
