Seniors

My father was in an independent living center and loved it. He suddenly had a serious health issue and needed nursing home care and could not go back to his independent living center. His facility did not have graduated care, so we had to quickly find a nursing home that would take him. It took a stressful couple of weeks and could not find one with a private room. We found that nursing homes allocate (at least here) more beds for women than men, due to life expectancy projections. Whenever you chose to make your move, it would be my advice to definitely choose a facility that has both an assisted and nursing home on the premises. These homes usually allow only residents already in their system to move into the nursing home part of their facility. Hope this helps.
