[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 70232, member: 84"] I'm going to look in to the inhome services. That's a great idea. Meals on wheels we've tried. She can't hear when they come to the door. (also terribly deaf) But we do have her salon lady coming in to do her hair and she has a maid. So far she's refused other help. But I'll see what's available and then run it past her. Although her hearing may pose a problem with in home services. And next time she sees the doctor I'm going to ask how he's going to treat her when she can't even make it out to see him anymore. Do docs make home visits for such special circumstances?? She's been to our assisted living community to view it. Has all the info on it. Just doesn't want to go til she can't do for herself much at all. (she can still cook and such) I'd like to find someone/some program that would put in a bathroom on her ground floor. She has a half bath, but can no longer go up her steep steps to bathe. She does it at the kitchen sink. Worries me. Oh, yes. She's stubborn. Determined to pass away at home if possible. I don't think she'd even be receptive to moving in with us even if we had the room. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] I'm old fashioned to the hilt. I will step up to the plate and care for her til she's no longer able to live at home. mother in law is an amazing woman who has given her all to her family, including her daughter in laws. The least I can do is be there for her when she needs someone. That part I don't mind, once I figure out how I'm going to swing it. What had me irked was that with brother in law and family moving away I had no backup if I needed it. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to be making a few calls this week.
