Often caregivers vow not to put loved ones in a "home." They promise Grampy, "I'll keep you at home forever," and then everyone finds out the hard way that it isn't possible. Caregiving at home exhausts a caregiver's finances, destroys their family and marriage, and impacts their mental health. They have no idea that care facilities today provide programs to keep residents as happy and healthy as possible; these places have trained professionals to take care of our loved ones better than we can at home. I know people who love their assisted living places! Disclaimer: I'm a home caregiver for my husband. I have no connection with any care facility or their employees.
This thread is for raising consciousness that there are great care facilities throughout the US. The ones that I'm posting are where my friends and relatives have thrived. Please post ones that you know about.
