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.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Yes, you did the very best you could. But you aren't God and you can't heal the sick and infirm and give a 95 year old woman back her youth and home. But you did the best you could and that was wonderful of you and your sister.
She was so dependent on my middle sister, that I believe the stress led my sister to an early grave. So, Mother didn't live long at home. She fell and eventually was moved to a NH.
My 75 yo sister lives in WY. I am 60 and in AZ. and mother is in IL.
The first 2 days were great. The NH is great and has saved her life. The aids are helpful and nice and the food is giving her the nutrition that she needed. She is clean and dressed and safe.
But, on day 3 of me visiting, she suddenly needed me to ring her call light, push her wheel chair, brush her teeth, etc. She started talking about "going passed her house, to pick up some stuff." She can't sit up in bed, or stand w/o assistance. They do make her walk down the hall, with a walker, but she fights them, about it.
I finally told her flat out, that I cannot put her in a car and get her out. She says that she can walk. I was almost tempted to push her out in the rain and tell her to get in the car.
One of the main problems is that she can't hear and she did nothing about it, for 10 years.
I stayed a week and my elderly sister is still there and is still listening to the nonsense about "going to the house, to pick up some stuff."
We gave her a nice 95th birthday party (which worried her) and she had 25 guests and family members. Most of the people that have cared for her in the past, are sick with cancer, but Mother says that there is nothing wrong with them.
She asked me to bring her back to AZ. with me and I said "Are you going to get on an airplane?" No response.
Anyway, she was doing so well - until we showed up to celebrate her birthday. There just wasn't anything we could do, but go, since it had been so long. But, the whole thing, did her no good.
This is just my perspective on how I upset the apple cart, by trying to help. Yikes.
