... I'd like to attend best friend's wedding. Mom has dementia some days and other days she’s fine. Has some hearing and vision loss. Can use a walker/ wheelchair to get around. Needs assistance with food prep, medication, bathing and just monitoring when in a demented state. Otherwise her health is very good. She tends to sleep or nap a lot. I would prefer to find in-home caretaker(s) for those 10 days but will consider a decent facility??? Welcome any suggestions or advice. I’m not rich (retired) but can pay reasonable amount.
Does it have to be the full ten days?
Does your mother have any support from caretakers or hired services at all at the moment? People she knows are likely to manage better, so perhaps this would be a good time to introduce a modest amount of home care and get her into a routine.
