[quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, care quality always comes down to finances. It sucks, but that's the reality. So don't start with emotions, start with what she can afford. If there is a better place than where she is, can she even afford to move there? Can you afford to hire a private duty person 2 x a month to supplement? If not, it's a moot point. You're doing the best you can do. Also remember it's a progressive disease. What works today is not going to work next month, etc. If you are worried, hire a geriatric care manager (not A Place for Mom, but someone who only gets paid by families). They often know what the best places are because they have years of experience working with these places. They also understand the progression of the disease which I really did not at all. I chose a place based on what my family member wanted, not how the disease would progress.[/quote]
