[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 195272, member: 1161"] Hope everything is working out for you, this is a very hard situation for you all. Your letter was a good one and hope your sister took it in the way intended, as concern for your mom and wanting the best for her. I agree with other posters, I think it's important you get your mom into a home as soon as possible. I'm sure it's the same as here, any care home has a waiting list, and especially longer for the nicer ones. As mentioned by others for their areas, the same happens here, the care home is paid for with the patient's money until it runs out, and then is paid for through gov't services with a small amount to the patient for incidentals. While it's nice to be able to have aging/ailing parents with family, it's almost impossible for family to provide the level of care they eventually need. As your mom will have to be in a home once she needs round the clock care, it's best to start the process now and get her in the best place you can. [/QUOTE]
