[quote=Anonymous]I’d go a middle road for now. Hire daytime help.!If you find someone independent (not an agency) you may pay more like 25/hr; if you can get away with 8 hours then that’s 6k/mo. Stagger work schedules if possible to cover gaps. The aide should take care of bathing,feeding, socialization (senior center). Yes she may still fall in the middle of the night but that happens all the time at assisted living or memory care as well. Also you will still be going over multiple times a week—ask me how I know. The facilities are expensive and are not panaceas; there are medication issues, falls, confusion etc. Get alarms for doors etc if she is a wanderer. Try to make sure she is in a good sleep regime (medication can affect this both ways) so that she sleeps more at night. [/quote]
