When I moved my Mother into Highgate, I struggled with guilt. I wanted her to remain at home as long as possible, but she could not be alone and I did not have the time or energy to provide care or screen caregivers. I tried to keep her in the house, but she would fire the caregivers or chase them off. Then I found Highgate, the food and staff the use of activity and aroma therapy, it was perfect, she is as happy as she can be with Dementia, and I know that they will try to to the best for her with out giving her a pill first!
