[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, FIL is a veteran - we are working on applying for this assistance. My understanding with this combo of -less mobile, declining FIL plus physically fit MIL in need of constant supervision due to dementia- is not a good fit for assisted living because FIL would have to "supervise" MIL. Level of care would not be high enough for MIL otherwise. Is it possible a group home situation might be best for them?[/quote] They may need to live separately. This was the case with my parents. They paid out of pocket, but it was just the difference in level of care--she had dementia but was still very ambulatory and constantly escaping so she needed to be in a locked facility. My dad had no health issues. It was during Covid and often my mom's memory care unit was locked down for weeks, which upset my dad that he couldn't see her. [/quote]
