[quote=Anonymous]She's well into dementia, OP. You've got to start looking NOW because things can progress quickly at this point (or stagnate for years, but since you're suffering, you don't want to be stuck in limbo either). Looking means: 1. Extracting opinions on her decline timeline from her doctor. Geriatrist? Neurologist? Her PCP won't know. For example, if she has vascular dementia, they can do brain MRIs to assess the damage and see how it evolves. What meds can she take to stave off her cognitive decline? 2. Visit memory care, not assisted living. By the time she needs to move, it will be for memory care. 3. Research home aides, you might want the support before you make a choice on the home. [/quote]
