Making the choice
If you aren’t entirely sure what to do when it comes to which of these is the right decision, the good news is that you don’t have to decide on your own.
The decision quite often will rest with your parents' doctor as well as other health professionals that will be able to make a formal recommendation based on what they determine to be the safest option for her. For some, a retirement community or assisted living residence may provide all the care and support she needs over the long term. However, others may benefit more from in-home care only. If you are concerned that your mom or dad needs some support, talk to them and their doctor to explore available options in your community.
