Did you know that the State of Florida allows the same ratio of staffing for Assisted Living residents as it does for Memory Care! How is this possible when many of those in Memory Care required much more daily support? As individuals we are helpless without the support of organizations like the ALZ Association and affiliates. Is this problem even on the radar of those who can help to make a difference and get MC classified as requiring more staffing per resident!

    I agree - to a point…

    There is a facility not far from me that has a better ratio of caregiver/patient. The cost is more than double what the other facilities charge.
