[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I work in this field and I am going to tell you that 9 times out of 10 it is actually *better* for the parent to go to ALF. Let that sink in for a minute :) It will be your parent's own space, where they can have their things how they want them, they can be social if they choose or not. They can eat when and where they want (room, dining room) and have meal choices. They can be cranky to staff, not feel badly that they are cranky to their family. They can make demands of the staff and not of you, and not feel badly because they are paying for that service. Let the ALF do transportation to doctors, arrange for the podiatrist to cut nails, and you do the fun social visits. Are you going to provide hygiene? Showers? Toileting? [/quote] My parents live in the independent living area of a dual community and LOVE it. The same activities and services are available for the assisted living folks. [/quote]
