[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put my mother in a very high end nursing home and STILL had to hire someone to come in a few times a week to do her laundry properly and help her with basic things - nursing homes are understaffed and not all of the staff is excellent. With the additional help, her place was always in good shape as was she. And it made her happier to have the extra aid.[/quote]

This is a good point. OP the person your sister employs will be doing this kind of stuff- right?  Not justi sitting there while your mom ignores her?[/quote]

No, she does none of this.  Just visits.[/quote]

So who does all the necessary caretaking work- your sister?  This whole arrangement is a bit bizarre to me- I think it is perfectly resonable to farm out help, but paying someone $60 an hour (!!) is a lot of money to just keep your mom company and doesn't really take a lot off your sister's plate- no wonder she is frustrated and overwhelmed.  If you are going to push back on something, getting the paid visitor to help with things like laundry, straightening up and assessing what supplies your mom needs replenished, etc. seems reasonable to ask.[/quote]
