I was looking for <a href="http://www.stacyshelpinghand.com/" rel="nofollow">Assisted Living in Denver CO</a> metro area, found your post and found it very informative. Keep it up. No doubt, it has become really hard today to find the facility for seniors.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480853820645987242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383530289343318061.post-16682407292925580762013-09-06T10:06:18.738-04:002013-09-06T10:06:18.738-04:00Helen - as you know your situation is unfortunatel...Helen - as you know your situation is unfortunately too common. AL facilities that should be shut down are kept open because there's no where to send the residents. Ask any Adult Protective Services worker - they live in fear of an AG/ALF going bankrupt and closing their doors. We've had several in Roanoke close over the years I've done this and it's pure Hell trying to find placement. Unfortunately I'm betting on the provisional license being extended. <br /><br />I encourage you to tell your story to everyone and you and they call as many members of the General Assembly in your area complaining about the cruel lack of funding of the Auxiliary Grant. <br /><br />Best wishes for your mom. <br />.-- rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031950500798727225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383530289343318061.post-37976438996878949282013-09-04T23:15:12.605-04:002013-09-04T23:15:12.605-04:00Mr. Hart- I agree completely..

She is in a local AL here in my area- In Norfolk.. "Commonwealth Memory Care" It was my ONLY option other than nursing home- for safety reasons my own home caregiver situation had to end- I drive over 40 miles round trip every other day to see that my Mom is cared for properly- as she has late stage ALZ- but is still high functioning.. This facility has numerous violations, staff turnover, my Mother was manhandled and fell in the 1st 60 days- APS report filed.. Since June 13th its operating on a Temp/Provisional license-for 6 mos. The corporation Commonwealth Assisted Living- based over near Charlottesville- refuses to (move her) closer to me to one of their facilities Georgian Manor- Chesapeake.. very closeby, and licensure in good standing.. It was a very difficult process to obtain both grant & waiver funding, then it was very unpleasant to go thru the Commonwealth processing for admissions too- The reasons for refusal by Commonwealth AL Corp. are bogus. No good reasons have been given- There are (no other) competitors or AL facilities I can move her too- they ALL want Private Pay Funding.. even though Moms funds total $2700/mo- The Grant=1196 (Her Share= $628 and AG share=$568) then the ALZ Waiver=$50/day --I have been trying to (Market) this funding combo to other AL facilities nearby me- but I'm hitting a brick wall- I literally am forced to keep her in a clearly troubled facility and have no other options.. Commonwealth CEO Richard Brewer who is also a member of the Board of VA Assisted Living Assoc.. and CFO Nancy Higgs appear not to care. that its causing me expenses as a single mom I cannot afford.. also taking a toll in my entire life- car problems, health problems, emotional problems.. All because I cannot trust the facility to care properly and the (Distance) stress/time w/ frequent visits.. The Provisional license is until December! then what???
