[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. It’s because these places can be depressing and people are often mistreated in them. They all deliberately drop you, for example, if you complain etc. I saw that happen with my uncles roommate. He was complaining they were being too rough on him while they were helping him get to the bathroom. So they just dropped him. He had to go to the hospital with a fracture. She is smart to be asking questions. Try to answer them. Also, look into the possibility of her staying in independent living, but having a caregiver paid by you or her come in for a shift or two a day. What additional care services does she need exactly? I am so glad we are able to keep my parents at home. They are both mentally and physically disabled. I understand that for most people that is prohibitively expensive however. [/quote]
