[quote=Anonymous]Talk to her doctor. My dad's doctor prescribed a medication to help him sleep because he was keeping my mom up all night and she was about to have a nervous breakdown. It doesn't work 100% but she is getting more good nights now than bad. It probably bought them a few extra months before he will need memory care. I think the basement idea is good if you are okay with the situation. I think it will be hard to find reliable help, to be honest. Several of my parents' friends have aides for this or that, and they have high turn over, people who don't show up, etc. Even using an agency has been hit or miss. Overnight will be even harder. Also, look for places with a continuum of care. Your mom would probably be ok in assisted living right now, but then when it's time, she can move to memory care at the same facility. It might be easier to move her now while she is still somewhat independent. [/quote]
