[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For memory care, I found an adult family home to be significantly better than the memory care unit of a CCRC. The memory care unit of the CCRC wasn't terrible, but the larger pool of caregivers and more institutional feel made it less pleasant than the adult family home.[/quote] How did you find one?[/quote] Every state has an Ombudsman's program and they usually have lists of licensed family homes as well as inspection reports - just like larger facilities. IMO, this is an area which needs to be expanded/supported as I think it is MUCH better for people to be in a home-based environment with required care (typically less than 5 people per home) than being in a corporate-owned, institutionalized, profit-making facility. Sure, these are just ordinary homes without the fancy bells-and-whistles but the reality is the care is often better and more personalized than being one of hundreds in a large, "new" facility.
