[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe get in touch with the nursing home and inquire how this would work? I also have difficulties imagining an outsider not related to family visiting an elder in a nursing home, when the whole point of a nursing home is caretaking. Maybe people who have more experience with nursing homes should chime in. Otherwise it sounds like your sister wants to outsource her own visits with Larla, meaning she'd not go because it's depressing and instead Larla goes. Is your mom mentally out of it and has no clue who visits?[/quote]

I suspect you've hit it right on the head.  Larla isn't a professional caregiver.  My sister just wants her to visit.  She wants someone checking in on our mother every single day, but doesn't want to visit every day herself.  And she wants the rest of us (primarily me) to pay for it.

Larla isn't being asked to do any of the things that posters have been throwing out -- laundry, medicines, shopping, etc.  Just to visit.  My sister does the other stuff and doesn't want anybody else doing it.  Again, it's a guilt driven compulsion.  That and she's a bit of a control freak.  But that's another issue!
