I looked at places for my mother for a few months before I found an assisted living facility I liked. Then, I it took time to get her in because she and I did not have the funding to pay for it. It was almost another full time job to get her in. I made calls all the way to Albany. All of her money, savings, and her monthly income was not enough. But by law, and by the will of grace, I fought to get her in. It was worth it when after 1 year of her living there, I asked her if she was happy there and she said she was. That was enough for me. It is a huge relief, to find the right place for your parent or parents, for them and you. I have been in that situation.
