[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are some good day programs in DC? What if the elderly person gets tired? My mom couldn’t stay all day without being utterly exhausted. And she has all these doctors appointments too. But I am curious to see what they offer and price.[/quote]

Different poster. There were definitely people napping at the day programs(this was not in DC). They had exercise time where they worked on fall prevention, but people still fell even there because sometimes you can't avoid it. The social aspect was wonderful and they make holidays lots of fun.

That said, I would start looking into residential. They usually have transport and it just makes more sense as you plan for continued decline. I know some people on here make it sound like you are sending someone to prison, but that has not been our experience with some relatives, inlaws, etc. The key is to visit and be an active member of the care team and be very appreciative. You can also hire an advocate to go in and give you an objective idea of how it is working and that person can advocate for anything else needed.[/quote]
