I was told that in Illinois because the two structures are connected and not free standing, the staffing on The “assisted” side does not have nurses. I feel that makes it an “independent” facility instead. My mom knew if she couldn’t do EVERYTHING for herself, they would move her to the nursing side which in my understanding is for people with more serious health issues and need way more care. I feel my mom is between the two. She needs memory care and some assistance with daily tasks. Because she got placed on the nursing side, I feel she is frustrated, sad and withering away but the staff is not “allowed” to take her down the hall to visit with her friends on the “assisted” side. What are my options??? I hate seeing my mom placed with people who are mostly out of it.
Why does she need the memory care vs assisted living????
I was born & raised in Peoria, Illinois, any questions, message me.
