I agree and appreciate your thoughts. I did the same when my husband was in s rehabilitation center attached to retirement home.
I noticed that they take over one’s healthcare. The physical therapy staff was aloof and never listened. The food was bad. My husband had 2 strokes. The speech therapist feed him the wrong food which caused pulmonary pneumonia. He had to be hospitalized.
I bought a condo, hired out patient HH and took care of him for 10 years.
I don’t like rest homes as the ones I saw were sun-par.
I have a LT care plan and will file probably within a short time.
I would advise one to seek another solution unless they find a reasonably good place. One has to look into it carefully before committing the remainder of one’s life.
Stay home if possible and have out patient care if needed. Marilyn, you have the right idea. Good luck to you and others in the same boat.
