@katrina123 , I was very apprehensive when driving my cousin to Memory care, but it was a godsend. She needed a higher level of care than Assisted Living, so I called the facility, which I had visited weeks earlier, and they said come now. We’ll serve her dinner and get all the paperwork done. The director and staff gave us a Downtown Abbey reception…all standing in front of entrance with a wheelchair, smiling, warm welcomes…..they took her to dinner while I signed paperwork. They also unloaded her luggage and unpacked her things. When I got to her room, she was smiling and watching tv with her roommate and new best friend. She seemed to relax, since the staff knew how to care for her. I knew I had made the right decision. This facility was located in a rural area in NC. Costs are expensive, but far less than other parts of the country.
