[quote=Anonymous]NP. That may be true, but OP is saying that they can no longer live in their own, and there they cannot afford to AL for both of them. She may not have a choice. There are less expensive ALs - called group homes - you can call a placement agency like “Owl Be There” and see what your parents’ budget can afford. They could also help you find a caregiver agency. But if you have to split them up, which parent would go to AL - your mom with the physical limitations or your dad with the cognitive issues? Is he functionally independent and mobile? Would he need a locked unit? What daily activities does your mom need help with? If sge is cognitively intact, what is she saying she wants to do? I’m so sorry, OP. This sounds like a very difficult situation, and all too common. [/quote]
