[quote=Anonymous]It's time for a residential. Even if family lived around them, you are placing a huge burden on people who have their own immediate family members who need them. It is too much to expect some cousin or aunt to check on him on a regular basis let alone save him from choking?!There may be a service where you can pay triple and get someone last minute, but that is not sustainable. I have experience in that my delusional family tried to keep this all going and I was that emergency person for too many years while having a spouse, kids, work. It led to permanent rifts. Every person they tried to take advantage of ended up resentful and burned out. Find a residential setting and then you may need to hire aide, but at least if aide doesn't show up there is backup. If there is no money for that level, you get the level they can afford.[/quote]
