[quote=Anonymous]First, assisted living is different from skilled nursing. A lot of people confuse the two. It sounds to me like she needs assisted living, but each facility does their own assessment. At least at my dad’s facility, however, those in assisted living can live somewhat independently depending on their needs. They can’t cook or drive, but they can move about the facility, take part in activities, go to the cafeteria, etc. independently. It’s not as if they are constantly in their rooms and can’t do anything without a caretaker signing off. Agree with those who recommend a continuum of care. [/quote]
