My mother has been in an assisted living for one year. She has Parkinson's. They advised me 1/15/01 that she is requiring too much care. I asked what too much was. Their reply was, they sometimes have to help her get her blouse buttoned or help with her pajamas at night. They feel if you need help getting dressed sometimes, you need to be sent across the street to the retirement center (which they also own at double the cost).
We started looking for alternative care facilities. Then, one week after they first informed me she was too much trouble they informed me I had to have her moved by the weekend!! This was Wednesday night at 6:00 PM. I have two days to get her out and into a new facility. Can an assisted living really only give a family a two day notice to be out of their facility? This is a major decision we are trying to make for our mother. We're not just gonna plop her anywhere. I'm sure they thought we would just move her into their retirement facility since they have openings but that is the last place I would put her the way we have just been treated by them. What may be my recourse?
