How To Choose The Best Long Term Situation For Your Parents

How do I choose the best long-term situation for my parents?

As far as choosing a long-term care setting for our parents, that is a difficult task because we may have one opinion and they may have a totally different opinion, but obviously it should be their choice. So I think going around seeing the kinds of places that are available in the community and of course matching it up with the resources that are available, as far as financially, whether they can afford it or not or what other types of coverage they might have and discussing with people in the community. A lot of times there may be geriatric case managers that can help. There are also agencies and private individuals who are very familiar with the various settings in the community who could probably pick a handful and have you go out and visit those. So I would encourage you to do that with your parents if you are thinking about placing them.
