As one who has been involved in the congregate care business for 40 yrs., I’d highly recommend staying in your home and hiring caregivers. This industry has many challenges - and keeping good, caring staff is at the top of the list. At least in a home situation, you have the flexibility of changing care companies without uprooting yourself again.
One of our members on this subject recently posted a list of caregiving companies and individuals available through an organization called “ALCA”, Aging Life Care Association. . Take a look, and I think you’ll find it very helpful.
