[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Assisted Living is a higher level of care than Independent Living, right? If money is not an issue, why on earth would that switch pose a problem for the children of a woman in her 90s?!? I don't get it. [/quote] The level of care goes from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing (body) or memory care (mind) Siblings are concerned that she won't be happy in AL, which I agree is a risk. But she's unhappy because she is confused (she says, often, that she's confused) and knows her memory is failing (although sometimes it fails and she doesn't realize: "No one told me that," when I was sitting right there when someone did tell her that)[/quote] The flip side is that some folks wait too long to move and can be cranky, even experience a degree of transfer trauma once they make the move from one level to another.
