My Grandad is 90, still at home, and still driving. He has his little dog, and we all visit. I worked in residential care for years, and that sudden rip away from their home in to care is not good. Start planning now, even if it is only to have some sort of person to just give her a hand with stuff now and then, somewhere for her to go and visit. People go down hill fast when taken from their homes, and they get really confused, even when they have dementia and don't really know their own homes anymore. The other problem though is our olds can be tough cookies, and so independent that they refuse to have help because that has all sorts of meanings for them about their independence. That's why it's best to get someone in gradually. Needles

As with most things you get what you pay for. But they're experienced and will know what level of care your mom might need now and down the road. It's better I think to go through one of the established agencies than to hire someone yourself directly.

In some states, family members can be trained to be in-home care providers and actually be paid sometimes by the state for the work. I reside with Mom but we are not taking advantage of that and she makes sure I do take my pills (I make sure she does take hers). With this recent AF incident, my brother did not know her info when it came to admitting her in, so I took over and got her up to ICU within a reasonable timeframe. Mom has already decided she is not going to a retirement center or nursing home.

Gotta be some women (can't be a guy)....50 something....never made a lot in their lives...give them a stipend....kicker on the outside...house or something..."take care of my Mom...you get paid well...and..*." Yeah? Something like that?
