[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here . My mom not only looks amazing for her age but is so vivacious and what a personality she has. People gravitate towards her young and old. The private care company I hired is through referrals only and is a five star company. She has two private caregivers and in the event one gets sick there would be zero issues replacing, as I’ve heard the owner will step in and take over for the day. I have no worries with her private caregivers. The expense is a non-issue as I have said my parents were very frugal and have plenty of savings . Most of the residents look really old and hunched over, which of course is depressing. My mom,  even with her walker, has perfect posture and is still beautiful. She’s always had movie star looks  but being surrounded by really old looking people she’s lost her desire to make herself  look her best.  I think finding a community with a larger percentage of independent living versus assisted would be the answer. Her place is 80% assisted.  Retirement communities have lots of activities besides hiking and tennis my mom could partake in. Just having her meals with a younger more vibrant crowd would improve her morale. Btw the 22yr old hostess at her AL loves my mom and the two of them are always joking around.   [/quote]
