3. My aunt was in assisted living. I think she was about 94 when she first went in.

She was an extremely high-maintenance individual and complained. A lot. The other residents I spoke with were perfectly fine with the facility and activities. The rooms were lovely, the food was good, and there were lots of activities. They had a full kitchen and family dining area on each floor so I was able to make nice birthday meals for her and invite the family.

I do think it is VERY important to have an advocate. Some of the workers could be a bit difficult, too, so I'd call the coordinator and set up a meeting to discuss any issues, about my aunt or about the staff. My aunt could be a handful.
