Mother is 86 years of age, she had a stroke in 2009 and she moved here with me I’m her daughter and my family and soon as she turned 86 this pass July seem like something just happened her lights just started to shut down and now she fusses with me and refused to do what I tell her to stand up she doesn’t stand anymore she can’t walk anymore I try to get up to use it potty she refuses to do that she will not cooperate. I must get some homecare help. I will try to keep her here at home very frustrating. My husband and my son helped out a lot but mom is very bitter now, she thinks we’re treating her bad. I realize this is progressing disease. Any suggestions ?
Call agencies if you need someone immediately to care for her. I hope you get relief soon. It’s exhausting being a caregiver.
Some have said that assisted living costs less than in home caregivers. So, check out all options. I don’t know if your mom would qualify for assisted living. They would do an assessment of her condition.
Okay, will place you in a very nice apartment where you can play bingo, Geography: Where in the World Are We... puzzles, ets.
Take mom to visit assisted living places with you... make appointments, and get free lunch and a tour.... Make a FUN DAY OF IT..... GET HER TO LOCK IN AND LOOK AND ENJOY THE NEW SURROUNDINGS...
Make sure it is within a 5 mile range... for your convenience.
