[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m on year 4+ taking care of my 87 year old mother (only child here) in my house. She has Alzheimer and is about stage 6. She could live 1-5 more years. I am already feeling guilty about l finally getting my life back once she is gone. I have missed a lot of events with my family because of her. She does not have enough money saved to place her now. I have to calculate/guess how long she will live before I place her in memory care… but also feel guilty about the freedom that will finally give me. [/quote] Don’t feel guilty. After a year of my mil living with us, I could not do it anymore and we could not afford help. I still visited and managed everything but she never would have wanted me to sacrifice my child over her which is what I had to do as she was homebound and it became a safety issue leaving her home alone. Pay for the care, then use long term care Medicaid. [/quote]
