[quote=Anonymous]I think that's the best you can do, because you really need one on one care. I doubt independent living would accept her without a private duty nurse, as well, so you might spend more and agitate her without better results or cost savings. What happens in memory care is that the residents who stay in the room are supervised, but those who aren't will wander around (maybe be checked on once an hour or be looked at with cameras now and then) so falls do happen. Even the best ones will not guarantee no falls. Then medications can cause falls as well. So you either have to accept the falls, or hire a private duty nurse and then you're looking at memory care + private duty which is $$$$. The memory care places I am familiar with no not require private duty nurses, but it can be very stressful to deal with constant falls.[/quote]
