[quote=Anonymous]Does the place she lives not have a skilled nursing facility? If she's not quite ready for memory care, that would be the next step. They are very sad, too though. Honestly, my mom is much better off in memory care than she was in the truly assisted living. Before that she was in an apartment like your mom, with really no assistance, then moved to a higher level of care, where she just sat in one room watching TV all day. Once she had to go to memory care--the decision is pretty much made for the residents where my mom lives--her life got a tad better. They make them leave their rooms and do little activities together, even half of them are pretty much completely sedated. Look into skilled nursing first. You will know when memory care is the next step, and it doesn't sound like it is.[/quote]
