[quote=Anonymous] At that age, I would keep her where she is. If you can afford to I would hire a care manager where she is and have that person visit periodically to assess and chat That person can monitor things and also handle any emergencies when you can't be there right away. We have found a care manager is better able to advocate than we are (they take her more seriously) and she quickly lines of services as needed. For example, if your parent needs more care than the AL provides after a hospital stay, the CM can assess and quickly line up aides, and find an OT/PT or whatever is needed to come to the AL to work with her. At that age, I think there is far more risk moving her. She is likely to decline more rapidly. She likley has connections at her AL so I would not feel guilty. Call and Face-time and visit when you can. You could also hire a companion. Routine and familiarity make a big difference. Let her stay.[/quote]
