[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 470683, member: 6705"] My maternal grandparents lived in a place in NM, before their deaths. This place had 3 different levels, one was independent apartments... The second, where my Grandparents were, was more like a hotel; and the third was the "typical" nursing home only really nice. They lived in the hotel-like part. They did have a small stove, but it didn't get used except for tea. They got 3 meals a day, outings, nurses checked on them... We loved it. It was about $3000 a month which seems like a lot but... They got their own furniture, too. 2 bedrooms, was actually about 1000 SF. When Grandpa got really sick, they moved him into the nursing part (he was there not-quite 1 day before he passed, they brought him from the hospital because he was in a coma and they did not know how long he would live) - but never charged extra for that day. Then, when Grandma was going downhill 21 months later, they helped move her to Hospice, the mgr was super nice. (Gma was only there 1 day... Hmm.) After Grandma passed, the place gave us 2 months rent free to have the apt so we could get movers in, etc. They also held the memorial there, no charge. Someday, I will want to live in a place like that... [/QUOTE]
