If I decide to place my Mother or Dad in an assisted living facility and they have dementia or the beginning stages of Alzheimers, will they take them?
Yes and no. Based on their evaluation/assessment from the facility, the nurse will determine whether they qualify. If they are high functioning, mobile, do not wonder or combative to others they are more likely to be placed with supervision. If the nurse sees changes they will advise family and recommend the Alzheimers care unit in their facility. If they do not have an Alzheimers unit, they will recommend those available or you can contact a care manager for Alzheimers facilities or skilled nursing care for Alzheimers.
