[quote=Anonymous]My 90 year old Dad lives alone in a condo. He is doing fine, but once in a while needs help with something, for example, can't open a pill bottle or his freezer door got stuck. He is online a lot and sometimes has computer issues; his vision is not great.

He does not need any help with day-to-day living so assisted living will probably be too much but he wants to go to a Senior living center where he can get someone to help him, at any time, if he needs help or has an emergency. He cooks his own meals, nothing fancy, so he doesn't need every meal provided for him but a dining room option would be nice.

Also, he would like some social interaction because he no longer drives. I live nearby but am planning to be out of the country in June for 3 weeks and worry about him being alone. His neighbors are nice enough but he does not ever want to ask them for help, which I understand.

Does such a place exist? Preferably in Bethesda. He can comfortably afford $8,000/month.[/quote]
