Gosh. Just when you think you have all the ducks in a row.
My grandmother went from Independent Living to Nursing Home care after an assessment. They definitely do not help with baths and things of that sort. They would provide meals, they would provide rides where people want to go, they cleaned for them. Any actual physical needs had to be taken care of by a family member or they had to go to the nursing home side. At least that is how it was here.
I am sure different facilities offer different levels of care, but definitely the assessment will get him to the right spot, which is a relief I am sure!
Sending lots of good luck today! Hugs!
