[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the entire thread, but understand that nursing homes are grossly understaffed.

Your sister still works a W-2 job.

Your sister is doing the heavy lifting. Even when your mother is in a nursing home, your sister will have a lot of work involved with her including medication, Doctor visits, laundry, hearing aids, physical therapy, clothing, Bill pay etc. These are a lot to manage while she is still working a W-2 job.

Private duty CNA’s would run you about $30 an hour in Maryland. Untrained home care workers run around $15 an hour in Maryland. It sounds like your sister has been using the untrained home care workers.

Continue to send the money so that mom gets the untrained home care workers visiting several hours a week.

Nursing home residents that have visitors get much better care.

Having the untrained home care worker visit several hours a week will help prevent bed sores.

Having the untrained home care worker visit several hours a week will also help Mom transition to her new home.

Pay the money unless you want to start visiting several hours a week and start doing some of the heavy lifting of Mom’s care.[/quote]
