Not sure if this Newly Diagnosed is the right place to post so please forgive me if it's not.
We are moving down the pathway of looking at assisted living facilities. My dad currently lives in a ground level apartment but won't let me help him in any way (cooking, cleaning, etc).
Any tips for what we should look for? I'm thinking a complex that might have nursing care attached. My dad is still mobile, but has had trouble getting up if he kneels on the ground. His biggest issue is that his voice is fading, he has drooling issues, and he's not eating well.
I know this is hard without knowing the ins and outs of my father's current condition but any info/advice would be helpful.
Thank you,
Jennifer
