[quote=Anonymous]My dad said the same thing. He wanted to pay for round the clock care to stay at home. But I would still have been responsible if they didn't show up or he needed to go to an appointment (which he had many). I had to take on all of his bills and financial needs. This was very time consuming, getting access to his money even with all of the right documents. He lived in N.VA, while I lived in MD. I was working full-time and had two kids in HS. I made the decision to move him into assisted living closer to me. I had to consider my needs in this scenario. Luckily he had severe dementia and thought he was staying at a hotel. Maybe I am selfish but I did what was best for all of us. [/quote]
