[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm probably guilty of this. I'm simply not comfortable taking my mother out of her facility on my own the way my sibling is. She is a doctor and has a better understanding of my mother's limitations. I'm nervous about taking her to the restroom, etc. My compromise is that I only visit her in the facility, but do not take her anywhere anymore. [/quote] One doesn't need an MD to learn how to help an elderly person go into the community. This is a cop out and a crappy one. Step up and help. [/quote] NP. Agree 100%. I had to learn how to deal with my mom once she was in assisted living. My sibling was doing the heavy lifting. So I had to step up. It's hard and awkward when you don't have runway to learn as the parent fails. But you have to do it. It's not the nearby sibling's responsibility to do most/all of the work, then also have to facilitate other siblings' visits.[/quote]
