No need to feel guilty, the decision to move your dementia diagnosed parent to an assisted living facility is a good decision. That is the best care and support you can give to her. Caring memory affected elder individuals is sometimes beyond our skills and abilities. So it is better to shift them to assisted living facilities offering caring and living support services that you can rely on.
Thanks!

if your parent or a loved one needs long term care there are various care options that you can choose from
based on my experience, the hardest part of getting your parents in assisted living is the transition. Dont look at the amenities because it is the place and staff that matters most.of course, we want our loved one safe in the hands of the workers there and the environment is comfy enough so he or she will feel close from home. i also look at the activities offered because it will keep my mom more socially healthy. the food also counts because we should ensure they'll be getting nutritious meals everyday.

I do feel your laments. Sometimes you will feel guilty, (i don't know if you feel the same). Telling your mom upfront with your plans is a sign of love and respect. Relocating a loved-ones is hard but then if you think of the benefits that she will reap in living assisted living facility that it outweighs your doubts and fears. My aunt is currently enjoying her stay at Simi Valley assisted living facility.

I am often wondering what is the right decision for my parents as I grow older. I have come to this conclusion as my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers. As she is in the earliest of stages, I can't help wonder if or when that decision needs to be made. Even the simple thought of putting my mom into an assisted living home feels like a betrayal but for those who are familiar with the disease may know that it goes beyond our basic abilities to help our loved ones.
I started doing a lot of research and started with a great resource that brings a number of assisted living homes together for me to choose from and compare: http://www.allassistedlivinghomes.com
If you have any other resources, I also ask that you share along with me!
Thanks so much!
