[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Invite friends over for drinks. [/quote] You don't need someone leaving your home drunk and driving or an elderly person having the drinks mix with meds. You need her in a living situation where she has a constant source of social stimulation. At AL she can make friends and have many social activities to sign up for and people to eat with her at every meal. The brain needs this social stimulation. It is not the same as having an adult child who feels burned out and obligated. It is much better for her to have a social network and to have you come to visit cheerful and replenished because you aren't responsible for her happiness anymore.[/quote] It's for OP to invite Op's friends over for drinks, not the mother! That way OP can be on site and check in with her mom every hour or so. Not much of a break for OP, but she can see her friends at least. This is not sustainable for the long term OP. [/quote]
