[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s right. You made her move out of your house.

It’s a marketing myth that assisted living is better than living with family for the old person. It might be better for they get generation, like you, to have her move out. But it’s not better for her, and stop fooling yourself tellnig gourself thwt.

Your house plus caregiver is likely much better for her than asssisted living.

Which is not to say you are obligated to continue living with her. You’re not. At all. But it’s highly unlikely this move was an improvement to her life. She’s the one living there, so she is in the best position to know. [/quote]

The OP literally stated that her mobility has improved since the move. So yes, her quality of life has improved. [/quote]

^^Mobility is not the only factor in quality of life.

These assisted living facilities are not regulated well and they get away with a lot b/c of it. Living there 24/7 is a different story that getting marketing pitch during your onsite visit. You need to understand the quality of the staff and their education and training. Most of these place are understaffed and they have high attrition. They are also FOR PROFIT and they routinely cut corners to make the numbers look good.[/quote]
