[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 101701, member: 1514"] This was the one time I was glad I was an only child. My grandmother may or may not have had alzheimers...we arent sure but she did have some form of dementia. She sounds similar to your mother. She was very forgetful and confused and lost much of the time. At the end we had to bring her to live with my mom and then we found that she had a tumor in her brain. They didnt think the dementia had much to do with the dementia though. It did have something to do with her eyesight problems. You guys need to sit down with a social worker all together. Maybe you and your other siblings can look at some of the assisted living facilities and decide on one you like and then talk to a social worker at that one and then have her be a facilitator with your sister T and your mom. I dont know what your mothers financial situation is. In some instances medicare and medicaid will pay for the institution. By the time my mom ended up in a nursing home she went through all her resources and was on social security only. Medicaid kicked in when she entered a nursing home. Go talk to social services.
