Wanted to see if others have had this issue. My father is in a small assisted living facility. he has dementia and is very weak, so he needs assistance for almost everything. it is a great facility but management says dad needs more help than there basic contract can provide. so we are spending a lot of money to hire caregivers to come in and get him to meals, bathe him, read to him, and move him around. Is this "extra care" common in other assisted living facilities?

I would recommend contacting Comforcare. They are the best caregivers in the North Carolina area. They offer charlotte senior care and many such services. You can visit their website for additional details. I am sure they will be of immense help. Kudos!

Great article in the NY Times - "When the Assisted Living Bill Balloons". I have seen this happen, and it can get very costly! http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/when-the-assisted-living-bill-balloons/
