Mom has dementia and is going downhill fast mentally. She is on the waiting list for Memory Care Assisted Living but I fear that I will not be able to care for her in my home. What do I do? Hiring night time care is a last resort but I know that it is a possibility.
I'm guessing this facility that you're waiting on is your first choice for mom. Perhaps it's time to look again at your other choices to see if mom could get in any sooner. And if that's not an option for you, then home health aides coming to assist you is the answer. Best wishes.
Is that facility the only place that you have looked into? If so, why?
Would you consider another place if it was suitable and they had an opening?
Definitely hire help if you have to while waiting.
Best wishes to you.
