[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. My mother has dementia and my father had Parkinsons. I cared for them nearly full time until we managed to liquidate and get funds to hire 24-7 care at home. It is HARD. Listen, I think you might not be using all the tools available. It's hard to figure out what to get and how to get it. But google "hoyer lift" and see if you can get a scrip to buy one. If not, you can buy one out of pocket if you can afford it. The electric kind is easier than the crank, but Medicare might only handle the crank. Also, look into getting a special air mattress for the bed that will help decrease the likelihood of bed sores. Try to get nursing advice on how to turn your mom to decrease the risk of bed sores.
