[quote=Anonymous]As part of both short and long term planning, it could help to consult with a geriatric social worker about resources and options. I’m not clear where the OP and his parents live, but in the DC area JCA could be very helpful as a resource. JCA also has a day program in Rockville and provides a range of supportive services. I think it could make sense for OP, his sister and their father to have a family conference to determine what resources they can each consistently provide. One plan could be to hire a care giver for the next few months - which could allow them time to find an appropriate day program- which could allow them time to work towards alternatives for long term care. This is really difficult stuff to plan for an implement. I applaud the OP’s wife for setting appropriate boundaries- so that the OP and his family of origin can realistically assess their resources and commitment to his mother’s ongoing needs and care.
