When to move a dementia patient to assisted living?

According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, the most common cause of dementia, and millions more act as their unpaid caregivers. Deciding when to move a dementia patient to assisted living is a deeply personal and often difficult decision, driven by changes in the loved one's needs and the caregiver's capacity to provide safe, comprehensive care.
