So sorry to hear of your recent difficult experiences.

FYI: I just had a long call with our nephew who has placed his father in an assisted living facility with memory care. He stated that he wished he had asked about the rate of turnover in the staff that actually works with the patients. This makes a huge difference in the quality of care. For example: Part of the staff does not have the skills or inclination to help a person with dementia with toileting, and then they blame it on the patient.

I hope you find a great place for your husband!

Never knew to ask those questions. Hope the caregivers in my husband's Memory Care facility are educated. He is going to need a lot of help. He gets lost in our 3-bedroom home and he often asks me how to get to the bathroom.
