[quote=Anonymous][quote] Hello from hell in SC! I’m reporting that my 80 year old mother with dementia in a memory care facility is currently costing 36k a month due to the need for 24/7 private aids due to lots of falls![/quote] Maybe she should be allowed to fall. My mother was mid stage 6 , fell, fractured her pelvis, went on hospice and passed a month later on about of morphine and Ativan. It was more more in line with what she would have wanted (and articulated to me for years) than being kept barely alive while draining any remaining funds. I know it’s not an easy decision but my mom had done a dementia directive and there wasn’t much to be done anyway. [/quote]
