[quote=Anonymous]You can't let a dementia person live at home without 24/7 supervision. My neighbour had the same arrangement so had people taking turns staying all day. Well guess what, Mom fell down the basement stairs during the night and cracked her skull. You need to pay for somebody to be there around the clock if you want to continue this arrangement. You are looking at a minimum of 200K to provide around the clock dementia care at home. At one point you're just looking after an empty shell. My neighbour forgot she had been married for 50 years and that her kids were her kids. I don't see the point myself and would go to a home and would have told my kids ahead of time to put me in one. I wouldn't want to put this burden on kids but it seems like plenty of people do. [/quote]
