[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a small piece but, am I right that the quoted prices for AL and IL generally do not include food, but for SNF they do include food?

My parents are currently living independently although we pay someone to go in 12 hours per week to try to help them to the extent my mom will allow.  But when my father passes I think we will need a different solution for my mother.  We would actually pass her around us kids but unfortunately most of us don’t have an accessible bedroom and she can’t do stairs.  Does anyone know if these IL or AL facilities will allow you do to a few months at a time, maybe furnished?  I would bring her out for a few months and put her in someplace close to me if that were feasible.

Also this is a total aside but in shopping for kitchen appliances I learned that it’s basically impossible to start a fire with new induction stoves/ranges — what a great option for the elderly.  [/quote]

Thanks Op and others for posting in. I’m about to start this process for my 84 yr old mom. She’s in a wheelchair and almost completely immobilized. Still lives alone in her own home. She can still cook for herself, take showers and do laundry but we are scared of falls. Me and my brother live out of state. We installed cameras all throughout her home but they don’t have audio. My mom is doing just okay, but she is losing her memory fast.

How much are you paying for the 12 hours a week aid? I’d love for her to come live with me but we live in a townhouse with stairs.[/quote]
