The congressional office of Republican Rep. Kay Granger of Texas denied she is in a memory care facility after a report in the Dallas Express said she has not been in Washington in months and that she had been found at Tradition-Clearfork in Fort Worth, which offers assisted living and memory care, in addition to independent living for seniors.
Tradition-Clearfork on Sunday declined to comment, but Granger's son confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that she was a resident. However, he said that she's in the independent living wing, not the memory care wing of the facility.
He also acknowledged that his mother was "having some dementia issues late in the year."
