[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the right in home care, there really is not a point at which she will be a danger. She’s safer in her own home and will decline less quickly in familiar surroundings. You can put in a hospital bed, locks, etc. my I fled with Alzheimer’s stayed in his own home until his death, with 24/7 nursing care. If she can afford it, that is 100% the way to go. There is a ton of abuse and neglect in nursing homes especially in memory care units. I’m with your SILs here. If she didn’t have sufficient money, it would be a different story and I’d recommend finding one close enough to do regular visits. For myself, I’ll stay in my house or in an independent living over 55 community as long as I can, then will down a bottle of pills and leave a nice note for my kids. [/quote] Yes, there is. Been there. I have no idea what the home looks like, but usually they are not safer in their own home past a point even with renos.[/quote]
