Needs .........
While I have little experience with the inner workings of such a facility, my employment puts me in contact with about 100+ facilities from North Gainesville to Claremont and from Lecanto to Apopka.
There are many differant levels of care from Independent living to skilled nursing. I would suggest you contact an association that could make suggestions based on her doctors reccomendations for her needs. Her mind is sharp, so she may not really need a nursing home, but rather an ALF. There are many withing a 100 mile radius. IMHO there are some better run and maintained with more to do than others. Some cost more, some cost less. You have to fit her medical needs within her allotted budget. Can she still cook, clean, maintain herself? Can she do certain things and not others?
This all has to be figured into along with her medical management and what her physician feels she can or cannot do.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"
