Any Advice On Assisted Living?

1. My two cents:

privately-owned facilities over publicly-traded ones.

Publicly-traded facilities would prioritize profits over people. Not that private facilities wouldn't either, however you might get lucky and find one that really does care about people.

I helped find a memory facility for an in-law and recommended the older, shabbier facility over the newer one. Reason? The staff was better trained, more mature, and sincerely dedicated. The newer one had the nicer interior and nicer rooms, but the staff made me feel like I was in a fast food restaurant.
