Mom was 87, recovering from a broken hip & had Pulmonary Fibrosis. We found an Assisted Living place that had a separate nursing home (Rehab facility) attached. It was great because she kept getting pneumonia, going to the hospital, getting seriously weak, then had to return to nursing home to strengthen, then back to her assisted living apt. It worked very well for her for the 3 years she was there. She got to have some of her important "treasures" with her in the apt. and her own furniture, which was a great comfort to her.
