The search for great facilities is a hard process. But dont get discouraged there are so many places that are really great at what they do.

M.G., I think you are a very wise person. Good advise. However, sometimes it is necessary to move a senior to a different location in order to have family available to advocate for them and make sure the care they are getting is what it should be. I do agree though that you should first try to keep them in the area that they have a network of friends and familiar surroundings.

Do you really think your parents would want to move from Medford to Alaska or San Diego? You can't just transplant people and take them away from their friends, church and area. They are not looking to "experience a new area at their ages". Are you not aware how stressful a move is for seniors? If you know anything about gardening you'll know what happens when you try to transplant and fully grown plant. Lots of preparation is needed to do that, and even then your chances are not that great. I guess you can tell what my hobby is. All of you siblings need to get together and figure our what's best for your parents. I guess I better look at that Senior Care Guide to see what it's all about.

I had a similar experience, but had no brothers or sisters to help me through this really tough time. Being a do-it-yourselfer I got on the internet to do research about what types of facilities are out there and what I should be looking for and almost had a stroke trying to get through the information. After about three or four days of trying to wade through this information I happened across The Senior Care Guide and thought I had died and gone to heaven. They explained the types of care, and what I should be aware of plus they listed the different facilities in each city. It was so easy to search for areas close to my work and my home and the addresses and phone numbers were there so I could just call as ask to come by to see the facility. If you are going through this difficult time, I strongly suggest you check out The Senior Care Guide.....it's awesome.
