[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assisted living is not a good answer. Those places are notoriously understaffed and/or staffed with unqualified staff. Your mom is not going to get the extra attention you think she is. Maybe look at a small group home but not a large assisted living facility. They are FOR PROFIT and everything they do is to meet corporate objectives, not care for your loved one.[/quote] There are 2 aspects we found to be absolutely vital" 1.) Social-so much better than being at home living for family or an occasional friend to visit and the aide sometimes only paid attention when people visited-otherwise on phone or napping (not all of them) 2.) Prepared meals (once they can't cook relying on meal delivery can be quite an ordeal) Honestly we did not see better care aging in place and there is nothing like having peers to befriend.[/quote]
