[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP, as so many others have said - there really aren't "good" solutions at this stage. The reality is what it is and that's hard, no matter the path. FWIW, I found that the "best" choice was the one that ensured safety. That often wasn't the preferred choice of my mother (or father), but it was a standard that made sense to me and that has helped me feel at peace w/ decisions I had to make at key stages. So home wasn't an option unless we could make it safe (and it wasn't always), rehab sometimes was necessary, a nursing home was necessary, hospice care with live-in staff was necessary, etc... - all at different points (and with different people and different health challenges). Safety first. Then you make the best of whatever rotten hand your loved one has been dealt. Hang in there.[/quote]
