[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, there are no good options. If you want her in an institution they will insist on memory care and it will most likely suck Try to keep her at home and up the number of hours Personally I’d rather die from a fall at home than be locked in memory care [/quote] New poster here. It's not just about the elderly person with dementia though. People with dementia can be dangerous to others. What if she starts lighting the stove and causing fires? That would not just burn down her home, but potentially neighbors' houses if she lives in apartments/townhomes or even just houses that are very close together. What if a firefighter gets injured or even dies while responding to the fire? OP's family needs to think beyond just what her grandmother wants.[/quote]
