Just posted, but wanted to add I agree with the great advice on here-make sure it's continued care, even if she goes to AL. It's so much easier for them to adjust when a move is within the same facility.

I think assisted living will break her spirit but she still has some expressive aphasia and can’t tell time. How do we decide on next step?
