[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes no sense to provide that much care for your mom and have her live alone. Does she really need so much in home care. [b]40 hours a week is a lot.[/b] Can you move her in with you? [/quote] Hmmm, 40 hours/week actually isn't a lot for someone who is on a feeding tube. There seems to be some disconnect here on the capacity of the mom. As someone who took care of scheduling for her own mom, there are 168 in a week. I think the choice is to sell the condo and move Mom in with OP if she doesn't need 24 hr care, or find a Medicaid bed. [/quote] Agree that 40 isn’t a lot under the circumstances. What I meant is that 40 is a lot of that’s what it takes to stay in the home, especially when you have no resources and someone else needs to pay for it. [/quote]
