She needs skilled nursing care and I was told she would need a long term care nursing home. I feel so terrible. I can’t keep her with me and am paying a fortune for her care. I just want her to be happy. I visit three times a week but I have heard awful stories about nursing homes.
Schedule a tour of at least 3. An admissions director will meet with you, show you around, and ask questions about Mom's care needs. You will be able to ask any questions you have.
YOU should not be paying for this. You mother's funds should be used to pay for her care. If she has limited assets and limited income, then apply on her behalf for Medicaid assistance. That will help to pay for Skilled Nursing. You can call your local county health and human services office and ask about this.
wanted to add. Ask her ALF if mom qualified for Hospice would they allow her to stay. This would give them extra help for her.
