Now we pay for assisted living, that has proper help, and outside caregivers.

What are examples of being beyond the caregiver's ability?
Also, how does one have outside caregivers while living in assisted living? She is in a facility with workers and the outside workers visit her in the facility? Why did you call this "infinite wisdom"?
