[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you did this to yourself in the first place. I wouldn't want to be a burden to my children like this.[/quote] I had no other option as her savings probably wouldn’t last long enough. Plus, there is the cultural side to it as well. My mother is from South America. Memory care centers are not common there. What is more common is hiring health aids for 24-7 care, at a much lower cost. I am considering placing her next year. I just need the strength to get through the next months. My MIL (also from South America -still living there) thinks it would be terrible to place my mom in a facility. I really don’t care what she thinks about my situation, but it is frowned upon in that region , especially if you come from a status where in home help is the norm. She has warned her kids that she will die in her house. Yeah, she is a piece of work![/quote]
