[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if she has aides at home, there’s no way moving into a care facility will be better for her. As a dementia patient, she would be placed in a memory care ward, which is basically a prison. She would not receive as good care as she does at home and would most likely due to to a medical error or COVID. If it’s financially possible, it’s better to keep her at home. Many people cannot afford it. They can’t afford aides and they can’t afford to do it themselves because they have to work outside the home. People who can afford it should let their parents stay home.[/quote] I don’t necessarily agree with this. Some of us have male relatives who have had dementia. Many times men get violent and aggressive during advanced stages. It can be better and safer for the dementia patient. It’s incredibly hard to completely elderly proof a house. [/quote]
