Looking for Alzheimer's Facilities in the Las Vegas Area
October 24, 2007 10:49 PM Subscribe
My mom has Alzheimer's Disease, which is progressing quickly and my brothers and I are looking for placement options in the Las Vegas / Henderson Nevada area.
Can you offer any suggestions in facilities that I should visit or avoid? Do you have any thoughts in general about things I should look for or see as a negative for a placement for a person with Alzheimer's Disease? Any thoughts on the cost for this type of care in this part of the country we should be prepared for?
--- As an aside, I have been reading Metafilter for a very long time and finally have become a member, with this being my first post. My many thanks to the numerous fantastic posts and discussions that I have read over the past few years.
Thank you.

My parents moved my grandmother into a facility in the vegas area last year, I'll see if they're willing to forward any of their research materials.

Response by poster: Thanks for the leads ClaudiaCenter. And anything your parents would be willing to share, nomisxid, would be most appreciated.
