[quote=Anonymous]I am very much in this same situation. It's interesting you mention the anxiety in our case, we tried having friends over for drinks, meals etc. Since I can't get out as much. What I discovered is having people she doesn't know over causes her significant anxiety. She does better by herself during the day than at night. I can't leave her alone at all at night. I do go out on the weekends for exercise, brunches with friends etc. I limit it to 2 -3 hours. She normally ok. I actually treated her like my dog with separation anxiety - start with a short time and slowly extend it - treats to reinforce the good behavior. But ultimately you are fortune she will work with a companion during the day. My mom can't handle "strangers" and its been a challenge to find someone to help her that she will work with. But fot those that push the assisted living idea - how to you make that work if funds are limited? [/quote]
