[QUOTE="DDD, post: 116564, member: 35"] My limited experience was with a neighbor/friend who had no family nearby. My friends granddaughter (who by the way believed I was helping her "Gram" for selfish purposes [img]:grrr:[/img]) came to Florida and chose an ALF that was lovely, clean etc. The problem was that "Gram" required help dressing, getting to/from the bathroom, etc. ALFs, at least around here, are for people who are able to function independently most of the time. One ALF has a separate section for dementia as do most of the nursing homes. I hope your Mom makes progress but it is really important to match the needs with the place. Regarding $$'s, I was able to place my friend in a nursing home that she liked due to friendly staff and extreme hygiene. She had enough money to pay for the first few months out of pocket and then they transitioned her to government pay. Got a customer. Have to go. DDD [/QUOTE]
