Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / August 2005Checking Out Assisted Living
Wish me luck! Today is the day that I'm taking my mother who has dementia and my brother who is in somewhat denial about it to an assisted living facility to check it out. I just hope my brother won't find an excuse to not to go with us. He keeps saying that Mom will let him know when she's ready. Mom's 86. Why is it that some people think that a person with dementia can make these decisions? Sometime's when I think that I and the rest of the family are getting through to him, he reverses back to his denial. > Wish me luck!

I truly wish you the best of luck with this, June!  SignatureBest Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox') Well, we all went to see the assisted living facility. I could tell my brother was impressed at how nice it is. In fact he even said he might not mind living there! Not that he would but at least it was a positive reaction. I guess I was expecting the worst but really it's getting better. Mom's about 7th on their list but that's ok. We have a plan formulated for her care soon. She seemed to like it but it's getting hard to tell how much she can absorb these days. She's not there yet but it's looking like there will be a resolution to her living situation and she won't be going to Florida to live alone this winter........ > Wish me luck!

Wonderful. And good for your peace of mind. So glad it's working out. > Well, we all went to see the assisted living facility. I could tell my > brother was impressed at how nice it is.
