Mom splits her weeks living with my sister or myself. She has early to mid- Alzheimers and lives in the moment. We need respite care but do not want to give up our home care either. Mom is active and pleasant to be around. What can we say to her when it is moving in our out day? I'm thinking we'll tell her that this is her "home" and she's either coming to visit us or going back home. We are hoping to leave her for a week to try it out in June. Thanks for any help!
Thanks,
Peg
Since your mom already moves between your sister's home and yours, you may not have too much trouble with this. It's good to start getting respite care while she's still doing well. I think I'd follow what you suggested. You know your mom. This is her home and she is coming to visit you or your sister or going home should work as well as anything. Good luck,
Carol
