Getting Help When Considering Assisted Living Recommended
Posted May 14 2009 4:31pm
When my mother and I toured assisted living centers together to see if she wanted to move from her apartment, I saw the wide range of offerings in my area. A couple of centers were so great I' d love to have moved in myself, if I could afford it. It seemed a great way to get pampered and not have to go out in horrible weather. Well, she couldn' t afford those any more than I could. But we did find one that suited her. It was very nice, if more modest. It was still expensive compared to her apartment, and she ended up backing out of a pre-agreement. She had me to do for her what she needed, and she liked her apartment better. She had a personal alarm to call me if she fell. So, she stayed in her apartment until she needed a nursing home.
