Thank you for the additional recommendations. I don’t think we’re quite there yet but very close, so having those things in mind helps! ❤️

@cebecker5 , what you described as him leaving the previous facility and getting lost, is usually called elopement and wandering. The staff at that facility would be the best ones to access the level of care he might need after dealing with it first hand. Once those things occur, it’s risky for a person to be left alone. When my loved one did that it was recommended by the Assisted Living facility that she either have a 24/hr aid or be placed in secure memory care. A good assessment would really help you determine what his needs are.
