LOCAL ADVICE FROM A LOCAL EXPERT Q: facility. Where do I started to go live in a care A: completed the first step and that is simply acknowledging that it is time for mom to have a little more help. The next step would be to sit down and consider what kind of care your mom needs. For example, if she is walking on her own and just needs help transferring safely in and out of the shower and getting medication or mealtime reminders, then maybe assisted living is right for her. If a little more hands on help is required, basic care would be able to accommodate that. If your mom is living with dementia and you worry she will attempt to leave her new home. I would suggest memory care. The next step is to know what you are working with as far as a payment source. Does she have Long Term Care insurance or Medicare that you plan to use? If so, then your next step is to find out what facilities accept those. Don't be afraid to call around and ask questions! Once you find a place that seems like it could meet your criteria, I would suggest scheduling a tour. This allows you to not only see the building but to meet staff and ask any questions you might have. They will want to meet her too and make sure that the services they provide are the perfect fit for you and your family. Finding a new home for mom is a big deal and I want to wish you luck on this journey. North Dakota State Railroad Museum National (fake!)
