Elder care, such as it is

[NQAS]

11. Update

Mom is fine. Or, more accurately, fine-ish. Was in the hospital for three days and now in rehab. I went down to Fl last week, and the place does seem nice, though understaffed.

We’re now looking for assisted living, in Florida to start with and then moving her to where I am or where my sister is.

My sister checked out a place in largo. Seems okay though the admissions person keeps calling with a hard sell. I talked to the admissions person today and got a better vibe. The hard sell might be because they only have two beds available. Or do she says. I hope she’s being honest. She sounded knowledgeable and seemed helpful, though, let’s face it, they want to fill beds.

I checked reviews online. Half of the 50 reviews are 5 star. The other half are 1 star. What gives?

So I have questions for people who have experience with these sorts of things.

Is a hard sell common?

Can reviews - good or bad - be believed?

Anyone with knowledge of Seasons Assisted Libing in Largo?

Any other comments/ insights welcome.

And to answer that age-old question- no, we are not having fun yet.
