[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you are in memory care or even the more needy side of assisted living, high end is meaningless. It’s the quality of care that matters. [/quote]

They want a large campus where they don't feel confined. They want good food. They want interesting activities. They are not near needing MC yet.[/quote]

All the food arrives pre-prepared on trucks.

One main company services the majority of assisted living places. The marketing talks about chefs but it is just a person who can heat up pre-made food.

I have visited six places. Activities are all the same:

Chair yoga
Movies
Maybe something w weights
“Walking club”
Happy hours
Events w music
Monthly brunch
Lunches out 1x a month

Sorry. Most or all of these places are not that special but some have nicer fake art on the walls or newer furniture.

My parents lives at Ingleside Rock Creek.  The food is mostly fine (not fabulous) but I do not think it is just brought in and heated because they can customize to an extent
