[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assisted Living facilities are terrible. They are wildly expensive, understaffed, and depressing. Most are operated as for-profit entities by private equity companies. They are in my mind a last resort option. I have personally seen this with both my parents at two different facilities. You are much better off staying at home with help for as long as possible. Keep in mind, before I had personal experience with them, I was actively encouraging my parents to move to them.[/quote] We found AL far superior to aging in place. You are ripe for abuse if at all challenging and alone with a caregiver. AL was like night and day once MIL adjusted. Much happier. Better meals. More companionship. lots of activities.[/quote] None of the options are great. [/quote]
