I will keep your Mom in my prayers. I hope you can find some good help. After my Mom passed away we didn't know how we were going to be able to care for my Dad in his apartment. He had a terrible fear of hospitals and nursing homes. We found some excellent help and between that and my sister and I we were able to keep him in his apartment for 3 years.He was 90 when he passed and only spent the last couple of weeks in a nursing home. Toward the end he was having difficulty getting up so we bought one of those chairs that have the lift in them. Maybe that would be an option for your Mom. You can usually get them a lot cheaper on Craigslist. Also, check with the hospital's social service dept for help. Hugs. |
