Sounds like a wonderful place. Yes, the costs up here are astronomical. I think a place with the caliber of staff you wrote about would probably be too costly here.
I am lucky to have good aides to work in my home and perhaps eventually we’ll break through his resistance or perhaps he won’t be so resistant when the disease progresses. (And I get to move on to a new set of challenges.😱)
Thanks again Celia for your generosity.

My cousin was very opposed to AL initially, but the fact her doctor said she needed it to get her strength back, better nutrition, PT, medication regulated, etc. convinced her. By the time she got to MC a couple months later, she was accustomed to it and not long after that she thought it was her apartment and she had no memory of her previous house. She thought she worked in the office. But everyone is different. I’m trying to get my dad into a facility now. He says he needs to go, but then reneges. Sigh.

Best of luck with your situation, i know it’s tough.
