Mom is at stage six of Alzheimer's.  She is incontinent and needs help to dress but is still mobile.  As a single mom of preteens, I work full time and the kids are on my insurance plan.  I thought the time was now to put Mom into assisted memory but I am second-guessing myself.  Mom has a home health aide.  The home health aide is okay but I don't like how isolated Mom is at home.  The assisted living facility seems nice enough but I am starting to have second thoughts as they seem slightly disorganized on the administrative end (although they have high ratings on Google, Yelp, and A Place for Mom).  It has been mentioned here and no red flags were mentioned.  However, I am questioning the type of care she will receive upon moving in.

The home health aide shared that she used to work for such places and how they changed once the resident moved in.  I believe this to be true but I still can't decide what to do anymore.  I had been spending   Mom was a very social person before the dementia but she has lived very isolated since the death of her husband. What are some pros and cons of each?
