[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the short term, there are cheap door alarms that work well on Amazon. We had them when kids were little as my toddler didn't understand he couldn't just leave whenever. For the longer term, contact their local office for the aging. MIL waited a really long time to accept help and things were bad, FIL was putting them both in really dangerous situations. In their home state (NY) Office for the Aging had programs and offered respite care (free!) that somehow she was willing to do vs. hiring someone (even though money wasn't an issue). Somehow seeing it as an entitlement changed her mindset. If nothing else, they can help you plan for next steps. [/quote] There is no free respite here.[/quote]
