Find Care & Housing
It is such a relief to hear that there are others in similar situations and this has helped. I also went to see a counselor that affirmed what people are telling me and that I need to determine my boundaries, communicate them and then stick to it. At this point I plan to go by the nursing home for short visits as much as I can and since I work nearby I plan to try every day or every other day. I also talked to the social worker at the nursing home and the nurse to confirm that my mom does not have to be there all day. I keep reminding my mom that she does not have to be there the whole time and if she insists someone be there then she can hire a personal caregiver and have given her the numbers to call. I also told her and the social worker that if he is released to go home then my mom is going to have to hire caregivers because my mom can't do it. She just won't have a choice I have tried numerous times to get her to hire help - and she won't even let someone come and clean house for her, but I think the professionals at the nursing home will be able to help convince her.

Shcshl: That's right. Oftentimes our elderly parents WILL listen to others' advice rather than ours.
