It was a great decision. The facility is part of a hospital system and right next to it. My BIL and his wife dont think its good enough so they do the transporting to another facility 30-45 minutes away. This is hours from us so we really cant be a part of it.
Its much better than having one person home alone and another way away in the hospital. The food was much better when they first moved in but there is a great sense of community. All with in walking distance.
During COVID my FIL could walk over and see her through the window of her first floor room. The assisted living/rehab rearranged things to create as many first floor COVID rooms as possible. My FIL passed on November 5th 2024. That was a bad bad day.
Im glad you are more at ease.
