[quote=Anonymous]I would encourage you to look for a facility that is close to you. My grandparents have been in assisted living facilities and nursing homes and when they were further away, it made it really difficult for my father to go and address any emergency issues. They did not have mental health issues though my grandmother had dementia but I do remember seeing younger residents when I went to visit. My grandparents were in the following facilities and only changed due to logistics and worsening health: Heartfields in Bowie, Maryland Sunrise in Annapolis, Maryland and my grandmother eventually came to Emeritus in Arlington near Ballston. Emeritus had a wide range of residents from those who needed constant care to more independent residents that had specific medical needs. The staff at each facility were caring and good at their jobs. I do agree with getting on a waiting list. It is difficult to get a spot. Good Luck! [/quote]
