OP - If your Dad has the means, I would get recommendations on an Eldercare Manager or Lawyer to help you get the research done on option for center-based care given his limitations.  The need for direct personal care daily will be a big one in terms of options.  If you find the place that can provide the daily personal care, then I would also assess what is offered in terms of activities that he might enjoy given his interests.  My Dad was in independent living due to my mother needing care, but he said most programming was for women! An Eldecare Manager could also help in checking in on the services he is receiving at random etc.  And, also on connecting you with a reputable agency to provide any extra care.  A friend did have 24/7 care for her mom at the end because she was a fall risk, but had a trust to cover expenses, and it ran about $22 an hour as she had a contract for the coverage.  My SIL who has dementia end stage, but a myriad of health issues is going to move to a top-of-the line SNF where her sister lives.  The cost will be $450 a day self-pay, but again she has the funds and the important thing is to see she gets the care that is needed as much as you can.  It was also very important to her sister who is her primary support person that she be close by because the winters can be rough where she is.  I do think this is a very important element for any family to have a person in a center care setting close to some relative if possible.[/quote]
