[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good facility, and at the appropriate care-level, does not rely on family to provide care. Plenty of elders do not have anyone and they are cared for ok.

OP here again. I think my concern is that she bought in to this place, and if she were to leave I am not certain she can afford to buy in elsewhere. We are going to work on that.

It has definitely crossed my mind that this is why my sister is moving. Which is sad because she has never addressed any frustration with us. Mom moved about 2 years before her diagnosis, so this was an unknown. Sister is doing a lot for her, and we have hired someone to visit daily and give her meds, but I know more is needed. For some reason, sister takes it on herself even though we have said frequently that[b] we need to make better use of the facility,[/b][/quote]

The reality is that no facility is going to take care of a relative as well as a daughter who can't stand to see her in a facility. Your sister probably knows it's time and she can't take it so she is moving away to not have to witness it, and feels that she can since she was the main person until now.

I feel for all of you, OP. BTDT. It's hard for all of you.[/quote]
