[quote=Anonymous]My mother has dementia and is in assisted living. They have different levels of care within her ALF so as her needs increase we can adjust care level. They have an attached memory care that she will move to when necessary. All the residents wear GPS buttons at all times so if they have an issue they can press it and an aide or nurse will come in- it has been helpful several times for middle of the night falls. We ask them to remind her to go to meals and of activities, all her medical care is coordinated through the medical group they affiliate with so her primary dr, physical therapist etc come straight to her unit and all medical notes are consolidated. I would not have felt comfortable with my mom at home with only occasional care- I do feel comfortable having her in an assisted living facility. Just because she has dementia does not automatically mean she needs to go straight to memory care. [/quote]
