Thank you, that is very helpful. I’m going to try that & talk with my dad about it. It’s very hard on him, he’s trying to take care of her and he can hardly take care of himself. I’m going to the doctor with them this week to see if they can get some kind of home health care. He just can’t handle it anymore, and I can’t be there all of the time.
I will be praying for you and your family. I know how difficult this is.
It’s obvious you love your father very much. Maybe that will touch him enough to know you are suggesting this because it will help him as well as your mom.
Sometimes you can find adult daycare that gives you even one day a week where you could drop your mom off and she would be looked after and have the opportunity, at least, to be around people and things going on. Some counties even often them through the senior centers. I have also seen them offered by churches.
I found these were most helpful if your parent was no longer ambulatory. If they can wander off or fall, that would be one thing to consider in the set-up. But I wouldn’t rule out anything until you went over and actually looked at how the daycare was run.
