[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just placed my parent in assisted living. We were all in denial about Alzheimer's even though that was the diagnosis. 
We waited for over a year to place DP. Parentwas living independently and daytime was fine but nights were awful, and we could not stay over.
Luckily, I was searching for a place for DP for over a year. 
I am not POA but was always very involved with DPs care. Because no one else was able to search and I had elderly care experience, siblings were agreeable. That is not to say for one minute that there is not constant squabbling.
One sibling lives over a 1,000 miles away and is unable to help. Another thinks there is a huge conspiracy and my parent is fine/lucid whenever they are w DP. Yet another is worried about spending. 
You have to be involved and stay involved.
It is extremely difficult and I am exhausted from all the mediating.[/quote]

I though that assisted living is unable to manage the care of those with dementia/Alzheimer's?[/quote]
