Mom lives in a nice assisted living facility, but it is using up all her monthly income and then some. I'd like to bring her into my home, but will need to be reimbursed since I would give up the opportunity to work outside the home and need income. I am her POA and the only child living close by and willing to care for her. I would like to use the Personal Care Agreement on this site for the contract. I live in Montana.
But, conflict of interest aside, carefully consider how long you (and your family?) will physically and mentally be able to provide the care your mom currently needs and will need as her Alzheimer's dementia progresses. Because my wife and I had been helping provide my dad's care for four years (one week every couple of months) before we moved him into our home, we knew what the job would entail, but after 3.5 years in our home, I had to move him into a memory care facility due to increased sleep deprivation and fatigue. If your mom is at the stage where she requires 24/7 monitoring, then the 8,760 hours of caregiving in a year equates to 4.5 full-time jobs.
