[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, can you give examples of such facilities?[/quote]

Sure, here’s one example:

I’m the PP whose parent already passed from Parkinson’s but this is an interesting alternative for OP to look into if her mom is not wanting to keep her father at home. Can you share what the cost was for you and what level of care it covers? One thing to consider (along lines of what PP said), especially if your parent has PD related or other dementia or hallucinations is that changing their surroundings to something unfamiliar can be very disruptive for them. I think this is partially why my father went so rapidly downhill after his hospitalization. But your mom has to do what is also in her best interest. Being the primary caregiver is physically and emotionally draining, and you need to be mindful of her physical and mental health as well. Best of luck to you.[/quote]

It has been a few years since we used a facility similar to this. I don’t remember the exact cost because my dad was paying out of pocket for my mom’s care. The cost was significantly less than for a larger assisted living facility or nursing home.  As my mom’s condition deteriorated they asked us to pay a little more each month because of the extra time involved in caring for her. We gladly did. One of the best things was having consistency with caregivers and not a revolving door like some places. They welcomed my dad’s visits and treated him like family.[/quote]
