[quote=Anonymous]You dont need an attorney or a trust. Tour multiple facilities, some are better than others. For those who say it's a prison or to avoid it, they likely didn't have family who needed that environment. It got to a point where it was unsafe for my dad to be at home. We hired 24/7 care so that someone was awake even when he was asleep. Because he had instances of waking up at night and doing something dangerous. Knives and anything sharp had to be locked up. The house had to be childproofed so he couldn't turn on the stove or oven. But then his dementia got to the point that he would have angry outbursts. Thankfully, he never hurt my mom. But having worked with people with dementia, I know full well the possibility is there. I've been hurt by them. It was a hard decision but sometimes these "prisons" are absolutely the safest options.
