When I admitted mom into Assisted Living Facility (ALF), I wasn't sure what to expect. There were several forms to complete and sign. Mom shared a room with another patient because single rooms were too expensive. In Florida, Assisting Living rent averages around $4000 (more info here). As mom's primary contact and caregiver, the ALF would contact me for a variety of reasons.
The ALF provided 24-hour care, gave mom her medications on a schedule, did her laundry, assisted her with bathing, dressing and other similar basics. Mom was 90% blind and so she needed assistance with everything. But I had to bring in supplies such as shampoo, toothpaste, and other essentials.
