@kdub1 Look at a facility that has Memory Care. It's much better for a person who is agitated. Also remember Assisted Living provides food, housekeeping, medication reminders but does not involve taking care of people who are incontinent. Your loved one must take care of it themselves. It is more geared to people who need physical assistance. Memory Care does it all plus encourages group activities at the person's level.

@gilkesl Thank you. For now at least I think assisted living will work for her. But I agree at some point for the agitation, memory care would be better. She still functions in her house, however I have started paying her bills. I think an assisted living community would be a good place to start with memory care on the same campus.
