[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In AL, our parents had more social interaction - in one day - walking down the hall to go eat, than they had during an entire week living on their own in the their own home. Yes, they dug in their heels and didn't want to move out of their home. Within 3 months of moving though, they were settled. They were happy, happy to the point of reframing the narrative and telling everyone who would listen that the move was their great idea[/quote] +1 the social interactions are key. Once a parent can no longer take care of themselves, the choice of next steps is not 100% theirs. They don't get to demand a kid takes care of them while they live at home, they simply don't. Put them in AL, they will be safer and happier once they adjust. And if not, well at least you will be 1000X happier and still married in 2 years. [/quote]
