I’m looking for a skilled nursing facility. My husband has Parkinson’s and Dementia. Should I be looking for memory care places ? I’m concerned because he equally needs memory care but is 100 percent wheelchair. I want physical needs and memory needs met. Tending to the Dementia will hopefully keep him calm as those not trained in that have not helped him. Which way do I go? Focus on memory care - is it unrealistic to assume memory care won't be able to physically manage him. I’m confused and nervous. Thanks!!
You local Area Agency on Aging should be able to do one. You can also ask his doctor to refer you up to a social worker who can evaluate him and recommend the right level of care.
