Memory care vs. board and care for senile parent?

<p>Within the same facility my MIL went from her apartment to a “suite”. Common living room/kitchen with 4 bedrooms off the common space. There was an attendant who was responsible for setting up meals, doing meds, help with dressing. It seemed to us that having the activity of people around, yet not in your personal space, was good for Mom. Plus, when the kids showed up we could take Mom to the common dining room or garden.</p>
