[quote=Anonymous]maybe you could try hiring an aide for a few hours every other day for a few months and reassess. Consistent support and a routine may help to stop the decline. If not, you’ll have a better idea of next steps- the aide can provide input about the specific areas she needs help. I was in a similar place with a relative 3 months ago. Once we found someone who could come in 2 hours/day 3x a week things started to improve. Initially the help was primarily for bathing, dressing and a few things around the house. As the relative continued to heal from the knee injury and become more mobile the care shifted to include short walks and other tasks at home. My relative is much happier and looks forward to the aide coming even though they initially were resistant. We were able to find someone who had other clients nearby and was reasonably priced.[/quote]
