[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think memory care is not a good fit? [/quote] OP here. Memory care settings lack privacy and residents with a wide range of behaviors are grouped together in large communal spaces. My grandmother would absolutely hate it. She may not know what day it is or what she ate for breakfast, but she knows that she doesn't want to be forced to sit in a locked room all day with a bunch of other people. She has always been a solitary person, happiest at home with a good book and a dog at her feet. Many memory care settings also seem to have programming designed to keep residents active and engaged. She would hate this too. She just wants to be left in peace. I understand that the activities are meant to enhance quality of life and have benefits, but at 93 years old, the value of this type of therapeutic programming is pretty limited. If I'm wrong about memory care, please correct me. But this is what I deduced by researching programs online. [/quote]
