My BFF from college is entering "assisted living" in a few weeks. [View all]
We're both 67.
Is assisted living necessarily rooms, a wheelchair, and being drugged-up or is it more independent living with monitoring? She has early dementia and can't function on her own.
I'm asking as my aunt and my boss both entered "assisted living" and both ended up drugged-up in wheelchairs, unable to even communicate.
