This is not entirely accurate. While it is progressive and terminal, the right setting and sometimes medication can make a big difference in quality of life.

OP it's hard to advise without knowing more about your situation. Where is your LO now and how do they feel/behave? What resources are available? I am sorry you are in the Long Goodbye, it is such a difficult thing.[/quote]

I am just TIRED after taking care of her for 4+ years now. I worry though, that she might decline so quickly at a MC facility. I also looked at memory care home-type settings, and am considering that route, as it is cheaper, and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the bigger MC  facilities.

The opposite happened with my parent. They prob have lived longer because of the care at their assisted living. They are not in full memory care yet but most people in their assisted living have dementia or some sort of issue. They have memory care on site so parent can move there when needed.

Parent began eating better and had people to talk to so there was an uptick for a while after the move.
