80 year old mom has moderate dementia. She currently lives with me and I can't do it anymore. Looking into assisted living.

Thanks Nancy. I have visited two places and it seems like they "toss" them out when they are physically combative with themselves or others or are having hallucinations and paranoia.

I'd find an asst. living place that either has a memory care facility attached somehow, or really close by. However, it's been my experience, at least with my mother-in-law, that even though her memory is in the crapper these days her asst. living people have no problem taking care of her for now. They're really nice and dang tolerant with her, so be sure and ask the people at which ever place you're visiting, just how far WILL they take someone with dementia before handing them off.
