[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start looking for an assisted living home with a dementia unit. I would not want my mother in any nursing home. You will see what I mean when you begin touring these places. [/quote] You realize that people who start out on locked, assisted-living dementia units end up in nursing homes, right? They can't stay in assisted living as dementia progresses.[/quote] Many places have a continuum of care - independent living, assisted living (both unlocked and locked units), and long term care. Residents can transition from one unit to another, as their needs change. [/quote] Precisely- someone can start out in an assisted living unit, but end up in a long-term unit, possibly in the same facility, but maybe not. "Continuum of care" means "we're going to move you around," which was my point. Thank you for confirming it.[/quote]
