[QUOTE="tawnya, post: 416101, member: 55"] Terry, When my mother in law was in the hospital around Christmas this past year, they assigned a case worker to her (she, too, has Alzheimer's). The only time we heard from her was prior to mother in law's release to see what our "care plan" was. We haven't heard a nary word from her since. Now, husband has been living with her since that time, but one would think they would check up on the cases once in awhile. Maybe there are just too many. I understand what you mean about not being able to do it anymore. Right now, I am taking care of my Dad's finances after Mom died, taking my grandma to see Pop at the nursing home every day, and tag-teaming "baby-sitting" with mother in law. I have a whole planner of appts. etc. and it is getting to be too much. I have other family here in town, but they won't help. When I try and say that I can't do it, and sometimes I really can't, it just doesn't get done. I know that there are resources out there where people come into the home. The only problem that we've had is that mother in law (and my Pop before he went into the nursing home) is that they tell them to get out of their house and never come back. These are very qualified people, home health nurses, therapists, etc. I'm having a hard time finding a balance. It will eat you up. ((HUGS)) I get it. [/QUOTE]
