[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 339552, member: 1514"] Oh Stang....I really do understand what you guys are going through so well. Tell B that when my numbers were down, I didnt know who my family was! Literally. When I first came out, I didnt remember the grands. How sad is that? It really upset Jamie. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)'s can really reek havoc on the elderly and disabled. I cant tell you how often we had to have Tony's grandmother rushed to the hospital when she was alive because she just seemed "off" and it was an Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). That ended up being what caused her to end up in a rest home. B cant have any guilt about his mom. He has done his level best. Its so hard to be the parent to a parent. If she needs to be in a nursing home it will be the best thing for her. She will be better off there and will most likely make friends and have things to do there that she wouldnt have at home. I know I didnt expect my mom to like it (and really I dont know that she could express like but she seemed content) but she was cared for. I saw the residents doing activities and that is what I would look for in a placement. Payment can come in the form of medicare and medicaid. Or long term care insurance if you have that. I wouldnt think that his mom had a whole lot in the way of savings considering she was mentally ill. If she was on medicare and medicaid, that will pay for her care. I can tell you what to look for in a home and how to do a visit. [/QUOTE]
