[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the plan, she has hired a team of home health aides, and plans to age in place, and hopefully die at home. The plans for the care are the health aides. That's what they are there for. They aides, and the company they probably work for, have contingencies for when different layers of aide need to be in place. Not everyone wants to die in an Institution. Her plan is to die at home, and have care provided by the team of health aides. [/quote] I know, but there is only so much the home health aides can do. MIL has had a couple of falls in the last 2 years. In her own house and outside. She has also started wandering around her house in the middle of the night, saying she wants to 'go home'. There is always a home health aide who stays the night in a separate bexroom. MIL is not really steady on her feet as she once was and her house has stairs. Is this not a dangerous situation?[/quote]
