I’ve been in the assisted living industry for decades, and wish to remain at home with assist. I wouldn’t consider asst. living facility unless absolutely imperative. While these businesses provide a needed service, they are a business…. And as such, will cut staff when budget dictates, food quality will lessen when they need to, and quality of care will suffer due to large turnover in staff. Even the best of the best will do this. The only alternative if living in an AL facility if you get too heavy care, or fall more than three times, is to hire private care in order to stay. That becomes very expensive.

Hence, my original question of “who will oversee our care when we can no longer manage”?
