As a medical social worker who has worked hospice for 12 years and the other as a social worker in some form or another in nursing homes for 8, you are not alone. Caring for someone at home is a 24/7 365 a year job that most struggle with no matter the help or money thrown at it. Most are afraid to deal with the stress and run from it. Consider hospice and remember that it is for people to honor their wishes and to help you achieve them. Hospice is often thought of a a few days to live thing but is so much more than that. It is a focus on quality vs quantity.
Sometimes a facility is the only answer for that but they are all not doom and gloom. Sure some have bad days and they definitely are not the care you get at home as that is individualized care but most do a good job. Do so research and ask a lot of questions. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone to ensure you are informed.
Prayers as the decisions ahead are challenging but often there isn’t a wrong or right answer. Just do what you believe in.

When our Mama got bad sick, and she was a champ, one tough broad I will tell ya. I from personal experience disagree with the "Hospice". I do know it may be different in other area's. Here I found them to be false caring, they are kill them, kill them squads. I was Mama's legal guardian of her medical treatment and constantly fought them to keep Mama's wishes. My advice to anyone who has a dying parent, follow their wishes and don't give in to Hospice, I did and am glad I did.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I feel the need to say this, my Sisters, all that was left put their lives on hold and took care of Mama 24/7. They are my Heroes. I had to fight them too, just like hospice. Mama has been gone since 3-21-18. We faught and I made sure Mama's wishes came in to fruition. We all text or call one another everyday, I love them with all I got. OP, you can't let any other things become part of the equation, do what it takes, nothing else matters. Blessings man!

My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in July of 2018. The doctors said 12 to 18 months. My only sibling, my sister is in Florida. Until last month she never called or came to see her. When she came last month she just said she didn't expect her to still be here. She told us she will see us at the funeral. My mom is still hanging on, just me and my wife taking care of her. I wish every day my little brother was still alive to help us and see what our sister really is.

Both of my parents ended up in memory care facilities and passing with Hospice care. My wife and I moved here to France for several reasons but the largest was to be able to take care of my mother in law. We did everything for her for 7 years which allowed her to live independently in her home until the age of 97.

My brother and his family did an incredible job of taking care of my parents in their decline. I was only there for visits once a year but I spoke with my parents every week and oddly enough found a connection with my dad through playing my guitar over the phone. When I visited I'd rent a guitar and play twice a day, sometimes for 4 or 5 hours, at his memory care unit. I'd be surrounded by people in wheelchairs and walkers clapping and smiling. Over the phone from here, my dad would light up and start slapping his hand in time.

God bless anyone who takes care of their folks in the end.

Pete

Oddly, I agree with catch22 again. Once your parents are gone, they're gone. They gave you 18 years of their life. How can you give them any less of yours?

I will try to keep this long story short.
My mother took in both of my Grandmothers and cared for them when they couldn't live on their own anymore.
She then looked after Dad when his health began to decline.
After Dad died and our boys were out of the house, she asked us if we would be interested in moving in with her and purchasing the house that I grew up in.
We decided to do so.
Fortunately I had sisters who helped out with her finances and health care issues.
It wasn't easy, but she got to live out her days in the house where she raised her family and I wound up with the place that I always considered to be home.


I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

Mom was in a nursing home and slowly going down hill physically.
She got pneumona--Not the first time either. Doctor said she would succumb to it if not treated. Do you want me to treat her? he asked. I said "Ask my Mom". I knew the answer would be NO. She stayed in control of her life.
