[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visit my 90 y.o. mother every 2 months in her Florida A.L. community.  I sleep over for 2 to 4 nights when visiting so I fully experience the community.  No drugging ever, lots to do, they have nice social events, happy hours, etc, a nice swimming pool, will take her out for errands and regular groups have a driver to take them out for lunch or dinner at the local restaurants.  The people that work there are super nice and my mother is very happy living there.  I know many residents now and they all enjoy living there.  My mother much prefers this community living than living alone (and has no desire to live with me or my siblings).  No negatives other than it is expensive...  [/quote]

This is great, but it sounds like your mom is in independent living. I don't think someone who needs assisted living would be swimming or going to happy hours. [/quote]

My mom’s AL place has happy hour.  They are allowed alcohol, they socialize, they take trips to the petting zoo and places other than the store.  It isn’t like it used to be.[/quote]
