[quote=Anonymous]Choose a facility wisely. Unfortunately, with a fall risk an institutional facility may not be in her best interest - or ours. Each time she falls they will still send her to the hospital and call you to go with her (or she will be entire alone). Each hospital visit will cause the dementia to progress. Eventually they may require you to hire a daytime aide to monitor her for her safety. It can get very expensive very quickly and you lose control. You can hire support in the home - not only aide support but also a caregiver to coordinate care and go to doctors appointments with her. Thus also can be very expensive, but you will have more control. [/quote]
