Suggestions for Assisted Living with Celiac Disease

[Lakergirl7491]

I (65 F) have finally decided that I can no longer stay in my loveless, emotionally abusive marriage and asked my husband for a divorce.  On top of Celiac Disease, I also suffer from MECFS and will need some accommodation to live alone. I thought Assisted Living may be a good option. That was until I started talking with a few of them and realized that they are really not set up to handle a true gluten free diet plus handle other food intolerances. They were all very good intentioned but I hate to put my health in the hands of people who don't really understand the requirements of providing a gluten free meal as I am very sensitive. I also use marijuana for pain control and they all were not really keen on having residents partake even though it's legal in our state.

Does anyone know of an Assisted Living facility that caters to people with Celiac Disease who also have many food intolerances?  

Thank you

I am sorry you are having such an upheaval in your life.  I hope you can find peace by leaving the emotionally abusive situation.

This map shows restaurants/hospitals/senior living facilities that have been well-trained in gluten free procedures.  Unfortunately, there aren’t many of them.  In my state the only things that show up are two restaurant chains.

Here are suggestions on how to evaluate a facility:
