I'm still wanting to look into facilities for my MIL, and I know there are some small ones with only a few residents. I don't know how to find them, especially closer to our rural area. She receives SSA and VA Aid & Attendance funds. We are about to start with a home caregiver, but I want to prepare for the day when she will need to have 24 hour care.
Call your Area Agency on Aging.
I thought you used to be able to limit by capacity, but I don't see it now. You can still look at each one to see its capacity after you search by city or zip code.
Wishing you good luck. People often overlook the availability of these homes, and they are best for some people who prefer a smaller more homelike community.
Search for RCFE.
Sometimes called a six-pack, because has up to 6 residents.
I found 2 useful online resources:
1. I contacted alz.org by calling their 800 number and talked to someone, she sent me a list that does include small board and care homes that take memory care patients.
2. I went on nextdoor and did a search and found out lots of people have asked the neighbors if anyone knows any place for their parents. I got a ton of information that way, people told me about places that they have placed their parents or spouse. Or if they live on the same block with a care home and the owner is nice, etc.
