[quote=Anonymous]OP, if your father has early stages of dementia, you probably want to be thinking about a place that has more advanced care. My father had Alzheimers and the progression can be very abrupt, especially when they're in an unfamiliar environment. AL may only last a short time and then you'll be in this hunt all over again (or forced to hire a lot of pricey aide time.) Memory care often spans a range of capabilities, including people who are still capable of basic self-care. If I were you, I'd find an elder care attorney or consultant who can advise on options. Start with the Council or Department for the Aging in your county or state - they can be really helpful. Investigate what government assistance he may be eligible for. Good luck; my dad had all the resources he needed but figuring this out was still more confusing that it seems it ought to be.[/quote]
