Carenotes |
How does one go about finding a "geriatric
care manager"?.
My Mom is 92 and lives alone one block from
my husband and me. She has limited vision from macular
degeneration and she has hearing problems (won't wear hearing
aids). She can take care of herself physically and cooks some.
I do everything else: pay her bills, order
her meds, shop for or with her, (usually just me), I make her
doctor's appointments, pay her bills, withdraw money for her
occasional house cleaner, in other words I do everything for
her.
She used to pay me, but decided "you will
get everything I have when I die so I don't need to pay you
now". That is true as I am an only child. I said what if I die
before you and her response was, "well you won't need it then".
Mentally she is usually sharp but has moments of ????. She
does not want to have anyone else in the house. She has no
friends and doesn't intend to get any.
I am 70 years old and my husband and I live
on social security with a bit more that he earns doing
consulting work. I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis
and fibromyalgia, even with those I am usually in pretty good
health.
My husband and I go on a cruise every
October for our anniversary and we try to go visit our children
who live 450 miles from us a couple of times a year. One of her
favorite things is to tell me how many times we have been away
for the year.
If we go out of town I worry about her and I
am fortunate to have friends in the neighborhood, she has
signals to show them she is up and they call her. Her former
doctor told her that she needed to have someone come in 3 times
a week. We had someone for awhile but Mom couldn't understand
her and now she won't have anyone else..
She sleeps all day and complains she can't
sleep at night..........wonder why. She has a healthy heart and
no cancer or anything life threatening. I know she isn't going
to change but I could sure use some help. My friend told me I
am "an enabler", but I feel responsible for her. She has no one
else.
