• Has a secured memory-care wing, so Rosa would not need a second move if her memory declines (your must-have 2).
• 2.1 miles from Elena; a parish with daily Mass is 0.6 miles away and the community runs a Sunday shuttle.
• A studio is open before the Nov 18 discharge.

• Ask to see the memory-care wing and who staffs it at night.
• Ask which care level a resident with a walker and pill-managed diabetes usually starts at.
• Ask how weekend call lights are answered; two recent reviews mention slow response.

• Dana mentioned a “November move-in special”: ask for the community fee to be halved for a move-in by Nov 18.
• Ask to skip the Jan 1 increase for Rosa's first 12 months (a rate lock).

No memory-care wing. Will not keep residents who wander or try to leave, who need two-person transfers, or who need more than about two hours a day of hands-on care. 30 days' notice.

• The lowest all-in price of the three, with the longest runway.
• No memory-care wing: if Rosa's memory declines past what assisted living manages, she would have to move (your must-have 2 is not met).
• Medicaid after 24 months of private pay fits your Medicaid timing if Rosa stays.

• Ask exactly what “more than two hours a day of care” covers and how often residents reach it.
• Ask for the points sheet and how a walker and pill-managed diabetes usually score.

• Ask for the community fee to be waived in exchange for a 12-month agreement.

Keeps residents through moderate dementia in its memory-care unit. Asks residents to leave if they need two-person transfers at night, or hospice care beyond what an outside hospice can provide. 30 days' notice.
