[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go once a month, your sibling goes once a month, and that’s pretty decent coverage. You can be there in 90 minutes in an emergency! I had a family member with Alzheimer’s in memory care a 10 hour drive away and that was brutal. You do the best you can.[/quote]

I didn’t talk about other circumstances - like if I am facilitating a day long retreat (my job), on business travel, my husband is on travel, and my kids need me to be home for any multitude of reasons (like a dr appt). DH travels a lot and with the unpredictability of travel in this area I can’t just race up there and hope I will get home in time.

Judge much?

Also - she was a fine mother. Did the best with what she had. I was closer to my dad who passed a few years ago. [/quote

Once a month is not enough. My mom was in memory care. Even at the best places you need to be there and be present. It is negligent to be there only 1 time a month; at a minimum once a week. I’m not being mean, I’m being realistic. [/quote]
