Senior Apartment 55+ isted Living - Need a Wonderful place to rent for Seniors in Miami Florida 33176?
I'm looking for a 55+ apartment for my parents that is near Dade County Community College SW 104 ST and 874 (Don Shula Expressway) Miami. I DO NOT want them at an isted living facility because it has been too restrictive (my Dad is not allowed to use the Hoyer lift he needs to get out of bed - so they leave him in bed all day (granted his skin is very fragile and tears when they try to manually pull him out of bed but with a lift he would be fine) and my Mom needs some sort of social life but at the place they are now, she is not even allowed to change where she sits for meals!!!) My folks are mentally 100% able and my Mom has no physical disabilities at all. When we asked why they would not let her move seats in the dining room EVER, their response was.. oh it might hurt someone's feelings. Really? We are paying a major fortune for this restrictive substandard facility. I want more for my folks... mush more. My folks are mentally with it, and financially capable of providing for themselves. The 2 concerns I have are 1. that my Mom has social activities that are easy to join in; and that my Dad can have a Hoyer lift to get out of bed. We hire our own CNA but the isted living place they are at now does not allow any lifts. I want them to have their freedom back, AND have some activities my Mom can do easily. The location is real important (the cost isn't as much as an issue) as my other sister works near the college there (Dade Community College). We would put them in a private apartment and just hire staff but we are afraid that my Mom would get lonely and not motivate herself to get out. I would love to have them in my home, but I live in a very difficult climate (120+ degrees regularly in the summer). Any help would be gratefully accepted.
