[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s healthier for her in assisted living.

People at home are not qualified. People at home care get more bed doses, less movement, less socialization and are more likely to fall or have  an accident.

I wouldn't bet on that.[/quote]

It's true.

It's also very unheathly for the care taker who are not trained to wash/move/care for the elderly. OP will throw out her back and it will affect her mental health.

Falls in assisted living rarely happen, breaking hips at home/falling in the shower/etc very common at home. Home are not handicap accessible, showers are not accessible.

Bed soars are common when cared for a home because people are too busy or weak to constantly move their loved one. [/quote]

OP here. I agree with everything you said. My mom was black and blue from all the falls she had at home prior to me dragging her to the emergency room to rehab to assisted living.  All the bruises have healed and she’s being so cared for. Getting lots of exercise, eating healthy, made a few friends and hasn’t mentioned cigarettes!  She’s still upset and cranky being there but I cannot allow her to go back to her home.  Maybe if I wanted my inheritance super fast I’d move her back home.  But I’d rather have my mom than money![/quote]
