My mother is in ALF and has good health. She appears to be in midstage. (?) We take her to church and simple shopping trips to grocery store and other familiar places. She has child like decision making, repeats conversation and other expected alz behavior. She is still doing a good job at mobility and personal care. We spend time together looking at photos, doing word finds and singing. She is on namenda. Should I be taking her to any type of physician or group activity? Her home has activities daily and she appears happy.
I agree with Geewiz, though. Does the ALF have a memory care unit? As she progresses, they may not be able to accommodate her. I'd discuss their ability to that so you can make future plans. My loved one's needs became too great and she began to wander, so she had to go to a Secure Memory care facility. Of course, her progression may be slow and she may do well where she is for years to come.
Other items (I learned the hard way) you may want to address --- If Mom wears glasses, is the prescription current? Do you have a copy of the script. Has your Mom been to the dentist for a cleaning/ check up? Since dementia patients can't speak well for themselves, we have to consider everything that may be needed.
Music/singing is the best. They don't forget the words or tunes! My Mom was singing and saying prayers up til a month before her death at age 98! Keep those happy days going they are all treasures.
