When mom can no longer be safely alone, you have real options — from bringing care to her, to a community designed for support.
Weigh the choices
If she wants to stay home, in-home care can range from a few hours a day to live-in support. If isolation, safety, or cost point elsewhere, assisted living provides 24/7 staff and social connection — and memory care if dementia is involved.
Cost and her preferences usually drive the decision.
Get a tailored plan
A free Tampa Bay advisor can compare the true monthly cost of in-home care versus assisted living for her specific needs, so you can choose with clear eyes.
