I’m in Idaho so things may be different here. My mother was in her home with Home Health folks making sure she was showered and fed as long as she could. She got angry every time I mentioned assisted living. After a few falls I just brought her to a place we had checked out. 20 residents, full time staff and nurse, private room. Meals, entertainment and activities, physical therapy Beauty parlor. She was really angry at first but after a month thanked me and realized she needed ( and I suspect she enjoyed the attention.) the help. Most of the staff were angels in scrubs. The price was less than her mortgage. God bless the folks who do this work well. My Mom had great care for 3 years before passing away.
My folks in NH with an incredible assisted living experience.
Locally owned, very friendly and attentive staff, constant arts, exercise and other activities, chefs who’ll prepare special meals for you and have their own garden on the extensive grounds, etc.
The decision to move from their home was tough, but they immediately started having a wonderful experience.
There’s always exceptions.
Might be Idaho. Nicer people then L.A. or SoCal in general.
Still depends on the owners, who can be out of state or just some shlock corporation skinnin’ the rubes when they’re older.
