My next door neighbor is a widower, up in age, memory is starting to fail her and she has stopped driving. She lives in a very large house here in The Villages, but she is seeking an assisted living area within or near The Villages to help her with her everyday task. The lady is financially secure, her house is paid and her total living monthly budget needs to be under $9000 ( pension & SS ) for all expenses. Unfortunately her only surviving son is not capable of assisting her and she has asked me for help.
My wife and I are not that familiar with any ALF's in the area. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Jose & Maria

That’s so nice of you. I hope you can find a place for her, though eventually whoever has power of attorney will probably also need to become involved.
I have a friend, 86, whose memory was starting to fail, also, though she still drove. Then she nearly died of COVID last fall, and her husband DID die of it. The virus exacerbated her dementia, and after four or five months with a full time caretaker in her son’s home, she was placed in a beautiful new memory care unit, which she loved. Within a week she had found a “boyfriend” with Alzheimer’s and was dragging him into her room several times a day for hot make-out sessions. Good for her! But difficult for her kids.
