[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 116928, member: 2211"] Yes Janet, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. She's incapable of living alone, needs help with meals, laundry, housekeeping and bathing, but she can still get around and still has moments/days of clarity. She's not sick enough for a nursing home, but we can't afford to get her into an ALF because they are all private pay. I will look into some older facilities which have what you describe - the rest home side by side with a nursing home facility. That sounds like the place that may be best for her. Again, however, we run into an affordability obstacle. This experience has really made me rethink my 401k contribution rate! And consider some long term health insurance as well. Jeesh - everything is at a cost. I wish I could have mom live with me and hire someone to come in when I'm not there to do all the labor intensive stuff like bathing, etc. I'd have to put locks on my kitchen cabinets and fridge though. I don't know the answer. It's he// to get old. [/QUOTE]
