the first decision is will granma go back to Pa. at month end & if so who cares for her there? then if she stays in Fla. assisted living is a "last resort" for disabled/elderly who need more care than family members can offer. it is expensive, about $5000/month & there will be medical/financial screening before entry. entry may be denied (be ready for that!) if indigencey can be established, Medicaid pays but many Ass. Liv. homes don't want to deal w/ that. you need to do a lot of research, & family discussions. this will be a difficult time and not all outcomes are good.
