[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has the money, OP. It makes all the difference! I assume many people would do this if they had the money. There's nothing to criticize, but I also think it's normal. My aunt's in-laws both developed dementia, and despite being upper-middle class, there were financial and logistical concerns in putting them both in separate memory care, so the family ended up paying for 24/7 care in the in-laws' own home. Two patients together with a rotating team of aides. My MIL has Parkinson's and expressed the desire to stay home, so her sons have arranged everything so she can do that, with cooks and cleaners and nurse visits for her treatments, plus a night nurse. Today my son, who attends college near her house, had a nice Sunday lunch with her. She gets visits from all her grandchildren. She's very lucky to have the family and financial support to be able to live like this.[/quote] I don’t know that having money makes all the difference. There is absolutely a mental hang up for people to use that money to care for your loved one outside the home. I mean, my parents have money and could even bring themselves to use to hire housecleaning.[/quote]
