Sorry, Aries, for your worry. I try to think positively when things like this happen to me, as in, it will work out. Many AL facilities have "try out" periods, where potential clients spend a night or two or three to see if they would find it a good fit. If the paperwork isn't resolved in time, perhaps your parents can be try out visitors for a bit? I am sure the AL facility is experienced with this type of thing and can maybe help make it happen. All will be well. Good luck, and let us know how it all goes. I have an elderly parent that I am trying to keep in her home for as long as it is safe for her, but I think eventually she will be going into care.
