[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about a roommate? If she really need companionship and help with little stuff like trash and turning on the TV, maybe there would be another woman who could do that and would financially appreciate the economy of sharing an apartment? I would think there’d by plenty of elders who are really strapped financially but are still fully capable of doing little tasks that don’t involve the heavy lifting or healthcare skills of an actual aide.[/quote] I think the downside to that idea is that if Mom ever wanted a family member or needed an overnight health aid at some point, she would no longer have a room available for them. Mom may want a person around to throw away her trash and press the "on" button on the t.v., but she needs the ability to have family and/or a health aid nearby as necessary.[/quote]
