They don't know the home situations and they don't know much about the caretaker situation. 24/7 would be a big thing for your mom, so her health and strength and support has to be considered. Can paid people come in to help? Have you contacted Lutheran Social Services? They have some people that give advice and line up volunteers. <br /><br />My mom knew that she couldn't be in her home again due to the layout, and she knew that she didn't have someone to be there with her, so we didn't have to fight on that issue. But I did have to tell the hospital therapists, right after her stroke, "Please quit saying, 'when you go home...'." It just wasn't realistic.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
