[quote=Anonymous]I'm not "there yet" with my parents, but here are some things I have thought about for whenever they are ready for this step:
- I would want a facility that has independent, assisted, and possibly even dementia care on the same premises - even if your parents do not need these services yet, if they are in their early 80s, one of them may need assisted living in the relatively near future, and you can save the trauma and finances of another move if their facility already has these options
- think about your parents' personalities - do they like to be around peers, esp since they'd be moving from out of the area - even for example, if one passes on, would the other want to be surrounded by "friends by location", which argues for a senior community of some sort vs a regular apartment near your house
I have heard good things about Asbury and Ingleside (one in DC and one in Rockville). 
You know, there really should be a service like the ones for summer camp where you can go to one "expo" and hear about all of the senior living options in the area! [/quote]
