Can my mom and dad both live together in a facility?

My mom is going to need more care than my dad. However, He needs help with some daily activities. Their ages are 76 (dad) and 69 (mom).

Often, they can. They may have to wait for a room to open where there are two beds, but unless your mom needs a memory unit, likely they can be together. I've seen that done quite a bit in my community.
Good luck,
Carol
