[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good facility, and at the appropriate care-level, does not rely on family to provide care. Plenty of elders do not have anyone and they are cared for ok.

OP here again. I think my concern is that she bought in to this place, and if she were to leave I am not certain she can afford to buy in elsewhere. We are going to work on that.

It has definitely crossed my mind that this is why my sister is moving. Which is sad because she has never addressed any frustration with us. Mom moved about 2 years before her diagnosis, so this was an unknown. Sister is doing a lot for her, and we have hired someone to visit daily and give her meds, but I know more is needed. For some reason, sister takes it on herself even though we have said frequently that we need to make better use of the facility,[/quote]

To resume:

1. This place has memory care and full nursing.
2. Your mother sunk her money there.
3. Your mother does not want to move.
4. Your sister moved AWAY because it was all getting too much.

Why not keep her there, OP? If you move her closer to you, you'll end up like your sister: bananas. Or do you think that you'll have more boundaries regarding running to and fro to help your mother and dealing with moods?[/quote]

I think it is not realistic to have to drop everything for frequent day trips to help her given my job and family commitments.[/quote]
