I invite you to log onto the home page - www.thealzheimerspouse.com - and try out a new resource. It is on the left side of the website, and is titled "Find the Best". It is a non-biased data driven comparison of the services, payment types, and amenities in facilities in your specific area. This is NOT MEANT AS A RATINGS SYSTEM. It is similar to the listings you find when you look for a hotel on the Internet. It gives a list of payment types accepted, size of rooms, services and amenities offered. For example, if you can only pay by VA benefits, and that is not listed as a payment option in the facility you are reading about, you would click on the next facility. If only studio apartments are listed for a particular facility, and you need a larger space, you would click on another facility. The site offers the opportunity to compare more than one facility at a time. It is meant as another tool to help you navigate your way through Alzheimer's Disease.
Some of the information is very useful. When looking at ALF's it brought up issues I hadn't thought of. Unfortunately it doesn't include any cost information.
