Assisted living isn’t very safe right now for Covid reasons so insisting that they stay there might kill them.
My parents are physically disabled and have dementia and we adopted the house so that they can stay at home. We hired 24 seven care which costs $175,000 a year. My mom also kicked a lot of people out at first but somehow now she has evolved. I don’t think you know whether or not the nurses are mean.It’s possible they are. Having them at home does require work and oversight on my part. It’s very expensive so I don’t know if your parents can afford that but if they can I would let them do it given covid.[/quote]

Who is paying the bill?  $175,000 is WAAAAAY beyond most people's ability to pay. [/quote]

Op here. Yes, I realize the vast vast majority of people cannot afford that. I’m just telling people for reference. This is through an agency that probably takes half for their cut. You could also try to hire privately like people do for nannies and it would be less but then you have to coordinate the care. And my parents are paying for it, or rather we are using their funds. The money all goes to us when they die  coming out of our inheritance so I figure if we want to pay that much for their care, we can.

Handling caring for elderly parents with dementia is so so hard.[/quote]
