[quote=Anonymous]Toward the end of my mom's life (at 90) we paid someone to sit with her from 8-4 when no family member was available. She often sat there and watched my mom sleep, although she probably read or something. She fixed mom lunch. She helped her walk to the bathroom. Best of all though, she was happy to listen to all mom's stories from the past that all of us had already heard many times. They had nice chats that they both enjoyed. My mom loved her. If mom had been able to be more active they could have taken walks, played cards, watched TV together. I highly recommend you get someone to come in and do this with your mom at least a few days a week or a few hours a day. As time goes on your sanity may depend on it. Tell your mom it's not a babysitter, it's a companion and it's a chance for you to run errands, visit your friends, etc.[/quote]
