I agree with Leslie above. I think as our lived ones become more physically infirm and less and less “in touch” cognitively, long term care is a way to focus on keeping them as comfortable as possible as they continue to decline. I don’t know if money is a concern at all but I believe long term care is much less expensive than focused memory care. I mention it because you seem to have some concerns about the facility advocating for something different. It would not be to their benefit to transfer her to a less expensive service, but it would be to your moms benefit. Talk with them openly about your concerns.

I would also ask about the differences in services provided in each level of care.

I agree with all. I believe at this stage in life, long term care would be most appropriate and helpful to your mom. God bless.

Very good Answer Leslie
