[quote=Anonymous]I would first hire someone to come in a few days a week. The minimum is 4 hours per session. They usually will also include some light cleaning. I would have them come in twice a week (Mon, Thur or Tue, Fri) to help her bathe, brush her teeth, change sheets/towels, run laundry, do dishes, light vacuuming, fill up pill box, make lunch (like a sandwich). Also could take her outside of the facility for a long walk or just to sit outside and get some sun (weather permitting), or take the dogs on a long-ish walk. It would be cheaper to do this until she really can no longer live on her own. Also find out if she is involved with social activities. That would be the advantage of moving to AL; they usually really encourage residents to be involved with activities. If she isn't, the aide can take her to clubs or activities to make friends.
