By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I would at this point just keep asking questions. Do you know what fully happened? Is here behavior/attitude becoming more aggressive in general? Ask her doc to revaluate her status? Do meds need adjusting? Before any more time goes buy, get some answers. Good luck, dealing we our LO is both exhausting and frustrating at times - not to mention how it hurts inside when we cannot just "fix" them. Prayers and hugs for all
Getting thrown out happens all the time. Just do what you have to do to get her moved and don't sweat it. Well, I say this in retrospect.............because I kind of sweated it! But I've found out it's not unusual and not worth YOU getting your blood pressure up.
I wish you the best. I know it's TOUGH!!!!
Advantages of group home living
The lower price, higher staff-to-client ratio — for example, Florida limits its adult family care homes to five residents at most — and family-oriented setting distinguish this option. Other pluses:
• More personalized care and continuity of care is possible, unlike in larger assisted living communities. With fewer older adults, staff can more easily detect physical and emotional changes in residents.
• The staff-to-client ratio is often higher than in large assisted living complexes or skilled nursing.
• Meals are home cooked and can be customized.
• The homelike, smaller environment may be a better fit for those with dementia and could help any resident form friendships with fellow residents and staff more easily.
• The presence of other residents encourages socialization, and can lessen loneliness and enhance well-being.

She is probably in late stages-does not talk much now. Crying resumed after the move and sis was uncontrollable for days on end. Meds have been changed again-now has a horrible rash from one or both of the new drugs that she is taking.
It was difficult when sis was out of state-she cried and cried every time on the phone and I could not do anything to help her. I think the staff there was doing okay but when I asked about what they saw or did the reply was sis is doing fine-when i knew she wasn't.
As you are talking on a long distance move you have many factors to consider along with possible exposure to covid during a road trip in the RV. Are you worried about being able to care for dad on the road, anger, wanting to escape, bathroom issues, having enough of his meds to make the trip.
Current facility says if sis needed to go to the hospital for some reason, the return to facility would involve 2 week isolation-would probably be the same for your dad moving into a new facility. I would probably move, maybe a few months from now if covid is less??? of a concern, get settled, find out what the rules would be for dad at the new community admission-isolation etc. how long. visits with family. So you know what to expect. You will probably be more comfortable with dad close by-I have had it both ways and closer is better-not necessarily easier with the problems my sister has but at least she can see me, we talk, i think she knows i care even if she cant say so.
My loved one was in a Memory Care unit for a month. He was never given a 30 day notice.
My family member was discharged to the ER for evaluation. There was never an arrangement made for a new facility for him.
Yes, you may want to discuss with LOs doctor a med to help calm her/him.
(6 bed home) that has been hostile her entire 8 months there. Staff said "Pat fell";
however Pat uses a walker and discomfort complaints were odd. Dementia has her recall button frozen. I hope aggressive behavior vs victims draws more dialogue on this website. We are in Southern CA also.
My LO was kicked out of a Memory Care Unit and was never accused of laying his hands on anyone. Just accused of behaviors.
With that on her record, it can be hard with placement.
