My mom's first week at the new memory care place in Springfield was a total disaster.

Honestly, they lost her dentures twice and she fell trying to find the bathroom at 2 AM. Tbh I'm thinking about pulling her out after just 7 days, but I don't know where else to go. Has anyone else had to move a parent out of a facility that fast and how did you handle it?

Feel so much for you, that sounds like a really scary first week. We moved my dad after ten days when they kept giving him the wrong meds, it was a stressful scramble but we found a better fit. Trust your gut if it feels unsafe, even if finding a new spot is exhausting.

Did you have to pay a big fee to move your dad so fast, @hannah_wells? My aunt's place had a crazy thirty day notice rule.

Gut feelings about safety are almost always right.
