Home care for our elders

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So situation is my mother just turned 90. Still lives at home alone. Can get around, but is not steady and needs someone to keep an eye on her.....plus do light housekeeping and some cooking. We have some ladies hired, and they take turns and go home around 8PM. Most of the time, they are just sitting around. 

Has anyone come up with a better solution? The ideal would seem to be to find an otherwise compatible person.....one who is on fixed income......maybe just getting by......and move them in permanent. Mom lives alone, but has a spare bedroom. 

Seems like it would be an advantage to both. Person moving in could ditch their digs.....no rent or payments.....no utilities......no food, etc, plus get paid money to just live there and look after things. Seems it would be a win-win for both. 

Mom is not alone. There are several ladies and gents I know who are just like her. Not good enough to live alone........not bad enough to need skilled nursing home care. 

So how does one go about finding such a person? One who is reliable and trustworthy?
