Any Advice On Assisted Living?

[deRien]

2. I would visit several places

1. Are you within walking distance of any amenities (if you like to and are able to walk)?
2. Some places base their cost on the square footage of the room
3. How much space do you need?
4. Is there a nurse at the facility?
5. If you needed more care, does the facility provide options or different levels of care
6. Money issues ~ should you need to go on Medicaid, does the facility take Medicaid? Many do not.
7. Some places use a "point" system ~ it costs this many points to do xyz. This can add up.
8. If you have a car, is there parking available? Is there a charge for a parking space?

And then there is just the feeling that you like a place as soon as you walk in... this happened with my mother-in-law.
Just my 2 cents worth...
