My experience with my mother is the expectation of "great" will only frustrate you. If you are lucky she will be well cared for, kept reasonably clean, have some daily stimulation besides the community tv room, and this is the best I can find for $5050 a month. It is very discouraging when you start experiencing these facilities so the best you can do is find what you think will be the best fit and keep an eye out for a decline in the facility. It happens - they open all bright and shiny and beautiful and everyone on the staff so excited to do a good job and unfortunately the day to day routines start wearing people down and they can no longer keep it new and shiny and that is when either a change in management is needed or you need to move your loved one. Been dealing with this for almost 10 years now.
