I have a question about care. Which is better, palliative, hospice or nursing home? My mom (93) lives with us and has Parkinson’s disease.

It sounds as though you aren’t very clear about the differences between types of care. It would be good if you could visit at least one of each, so that you can see for yourself what happens. Could you find someone to sit with your mother so that you can get out to do that? Another way to start would be to find out the names of some of the local facilities and visit their websites on the net. And for background information, use this site. If you click on ‘care topics’ at the top right hand side of this screen, it will drop down an alphabetic list of topics, with articles about them and also posts from forum members in answer to questions and discussions. You can look up each type of facility and service. There is a lot to find out, and from the sound of it you really need to get started. Best wishes.

Your primary responsibility is to your own family. Has mom's doc suggested/recommended a nursing home? Palliative, meds will be reduced. Hospice, would have to evaluate her for eligibility.

Sounds like you should definitely consider another living situation for mom. You need to take care of yourself and life too.

Which is better? I don't know it is a very individualized decision made with doctor. It depends.
