[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. The benefit of Home Health Aide is that your mom is getting one on one attention and responsiveness to her needs. I imagine that her living in her familiar home is a benefit. It is quite expensive to have round the clock Aides, but maybe money is not an issue? Have you had issues with the Aides canceling or not showing up? That is a risk with Home Health, but maybe you aren't having that problem. If isolation is the issue, could you task the Home Health Aide with taking her out of the house more? Could she do an adult day care program a few days a week? Memory Care would provide more oversight of her care, but she would get less one-on-one attention. Perhaps she would benefit from social interaction but that depends on her ability to connect with others at her stage of Alzheimers. Her care would be guaranteed with a large revolving staff. I imagine it would be less expensive than 24/7 Home Health, but Memory Care is still quite expensive. [/quote]
