[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Living "separately" for my parents meant the same facility, in different wings. Mom who couldn't walk much would get on her electric scooter and drive it down the hall, make a few turns and be buzzed into Dad's Dementia Wing. She spent almost all day with him. I know that might have been an unusually good arrangement.[/quote] PP who mentioned living separately here. Yes, that was how it was supposed to be for my parents too. My dad lived in the "independent living" section of the same facility. He was supposed to be able to go visit my mom as much as he wanted, but because of Covid they often had to lock down the memory care unit for weeks at a time. Eventually, after about a year, my mom deteriorated to the point she was no longer mobile/escape risk, and they moved out into a regular apartment and he hired a caregiver (which was a disaster on another level....)
