Assisted Living

This is the first post on the subject of helping family with assisted living and other senior transitions. My wife and I each have one living parent that is making the transition from living at home to living somewhere where they can get extra help. Hull ( my dad) moved into assisted living last year after a stroke. Mable is slowly losing her memory so she will need someone to help her in the next few years. We have made several plans for Mable but she soon forgets that we made the plan so they never happen. We have had to make several different changes to support our family and we are part of the sandwich generation ( rising kids at the same time we are caring for our parents). Add this to the general poor economic conditions and we are a very busy family. We hope that our experience can be shared with others and we hope that others have a smoother transition with their parents.
