[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel for you. Outsourcing everything requires huge amounts of assets. If there aren't enough assets, family members do have to pitch in. It's also sad to know that if you weren't visiting your mom wouldn't have any visitors at all, maybe just one a year, because she sounds like she was a good mom for you to take care of her this way. Also that you are doing everything you can to prevent draining her assets so she doesn't end up in a Medicaid home. It can make you feel really alone on top of the grief at seeing your mom this way.

Just wondering if you can start with a standing Zoom call weekly or monthly to discuss the dwindling assets and higher care needs with your siblings. They should help pay for a geriatric care manager. The nicer places have a doctor, nurses, visiting specialists, etc. The geriatric care manager can screen against what your mom needs and find a place that can do most of it in house. The goal should be to figure out where your mom is and how to prepare for where she will be cognitively and physically in 6 months to a year. [/quote]
