How can I find two female roommates, needing assisted living, for my Mom in a lovely 4 bedroom home?

I am moving my Mom, who has dementia and macular degeneration, into a lovely 4 bedroom private home, Westside Fort Worth. She has a Home Care agency providing live-in caregiver services, same wonderful people for over a year. Need two roommates to share the cost of care, who also need assistance, but don't want to move into an institutional assisted living facility.

I'd check with local churches and see if they will put up a notice. You may want to see if your local community center will do the same. Please check applicants out very carefully before you take them in. It sounds like a wonderful situation for the right people, but you don't want dishonest families or impossible roommates. I hope this works for you.

I was wondering if you ever found roommates for your mother?

As much of a pain in the behind as Craig's List is to deal with, this is actually where I see the most of these types of ads. I'm sure you'll know to be careful of the predators and spammers if you post in there, though.

I would also strongly recommend careful screening for suitability. Make sure you have adequate support staff. Good luck.
