The state worker from Adult Protection Services came by and told my mother that when I left she would have to go the nursing home. Both of us wanted her to stay in the home but I must work and will not be there all the time. She has one caregiver who comes in 2-3 days a week but next week will out of time. I was laid off from my job in Dec. but unemployment benefits will soon run out as in the 3rd week in April. I will HAVE to work somewhere. I hate that my mother refuses to be cooperative with the state. She does not want us in her finances so we could possibly hire another person so that takes care of that. So it is in her best interests to be placed in a nursing home since I am the only child and would am an only child and there is not any oneelse to come. I am praying that she will go on her own in her mind.
I've had to move mom twice to get her into a place better suited to her needs. After the first move, I got to see how happy she was to be in a smaller, more manageable environment. Having things to do is a benefit of moving her out of the home. Best wishes on your journey.
Good luck with your job search; you will be able to visit mom with a clean conscience and a lighter heart, knowing that she's safe.
