[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents both have dementia and one has Parkinson’s. Both are physically disabled in addition to their dementia.

If you can afford it, in home care is fifteen better, especially in a home they are used to living in. There is this myth that assisted living etc places are the great places that are safer than home but they really aren’t.

However 24 7 care at home is very expensive.

Please be kind to your sister. She may be volatile to you because she is under a lot of pressure handling this while you are 200 miles away opining but not doing the work.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for the reply. And while I understand that you might think I am not doing the work, you are in no position to comment on something you know nothing about, and that I have first hand knowledge of. I could write 16 pages of what she has done and I have done, but didn't think it was necessary to explain what I know, and that the entire family knows, as fact. I have done things and dealt with things that I seriously doubt most people would tolerate from a sibling. Please save the judgement, just looking for solutions. [/quote]

OP again. I guess I need to have this post taken down. The issue is about my father, not the judgement of what my sister has and hasn't done. And you have NO IDEA what she has done, or what I have done. This is why I don't post to this forum. Please FOCUS on the question, and save the judgement. I just want to know if anyone would be comfortable with a man in this condition coming home to live with YOU.[/quote]
