Spoke to my dad today about his potential eviction from the Gardens Assisted Living and he just laughed. First he said that he was already evicted but I reminded him that he won't be if he stays away from his ex girlfriend. So now I am trying to find every single assisted living facility in the state of Georgia. This will allow me to update the database since I currently have 69 facilities. So far, I have only been able to find another site with about 150 assisted living facilities. I have found a total number for Georgia but I would guess is was over 1000. I know that California has 6000 assisted living facilities and Delaware has 28 so we can estimate Georgia around 1000 facilities.
My sister and I want to have a backup facility in case dad gets the boot.

Assisted Living Love Gone Bad

Thing made a dramatic change for the worse this week. My father received a note from The Garden at Sandy Springs Assisted Living Facility that he would be forced out of the facility if he did not stop trying to see his ex girlfriend. The family has banned my father from seeing her. It is a little of a tale like Romeo And Juliet, the love each other but unfortunately, she has Alzheimer's and her doctor (and family) does not think she should be in a relationship so the two have been separated. Thing got really bad when dad locked himself in her bathroom and they had to get a locksmith to get him out. Currently he is find but my sister and I are betting he gets the boot eventually. So we are back looking for another Georgia assisted living facility. He wants to stay in Sandy Spring (Atlanta) so we will be checking out every facility in the area and posting the results on the site. Luckily dad does not have a ton of stuff to move. Again he thinks he should just move back into his old house but we can't let that happen, it is too unsafe.
Wendy at the assisted living facility says he is showing some dementia and he needs some extra care. Daaaa. He still thinks he is a rock star.
