Do facilities exist which can care for two parents, where one has dementia and the other needs PT?

Both parents currently living at home with 24 hour care, but need more attention. Both 90 years old. Father has dementia, mother has very limited mobility and is recovering from a badly broken ankle. Atlanta, GA area. Thanks

It looks like home health care is going to be the answer for us. Thank you surprise and freqflyer for the kind assistance.

Thank you! We will check with Emory. I greatly appreciate your help.

Emory also have a medical geriatric specialty in that area of town, and the living facility is Wesley Woods. They might be able to room together and mom be taken down to rehab as she needs it. If they have no openings that suit, someone ought to know where you can go look for this combination.

Thank you for the fast response. Is this the Emory facility at Wesley Woods?

It sounds like you need a nursing home with rehab which has two beds open! That might be a hard one to find. Try calling Emory's geriatric center for starters; they are supposed to be the best in the SE. The building is also a cylinder, which keeps elders from getting too lost, and math lovers like me thinking.
