[quote=Anonymous]The pros are the built-in activities and companionship, meals cooked for you, apartment cleaned and bed made each day, meds brought on schedule. The cons are that people are coming into your space all the time, rules you may not like (for my mom, not being able to take a Tylenol or some cough syrup without having to ask someone), and often understaffing, which means not getting the help you expect when you need it. It's a mixed bag. And while it's expensive, it's not as expensive as round the clock or even 40-hour-a-week in-home care.[/quote]
