[quote=Anonymous]Where my mom lives, CCRCs are quite unusual. The area is full of existing and under construction Assisted Living places, some with memory care. My maternal grandmother was at a straight up assisted living/memory care place and it was just right for her. She died of heart failure in her sleep. My paternal grandfather was at a CCRC and spent his last year there in the nursing wing in a hospital bed, essentially in a coma. For someone who ends up like my grandfather at the end but is at an Assisted Living facility, what happens? Do you transfer them to a SNF or nursing home at the very end and hope you can afford it or do a Medicare spendown? I like the local Assisted Living options for my mom but they are really fuzzy about what happens when care needs exceed what they offer, while simultaneously claiming they’re better because it’s “all in one place.” Help me figure out how it would really work if my mom was in a place that only offered Assisted Living.[/quote]
