I am caring for my Mom, my best friend. My siblings (5) are not sure that its the best thing for Mom financially. They know that we are much closer than any of them are with Mom, but they think I'm spendng all of Mom's money. Not true, but the reality is is that they are concerned and now looking into whether it would be better for Mom anyway. Please help.
It's likely that AL will cost more than paying you would. Still, it depends on how much care your mom needs. This sounds more like a family issue, so far, than a health issue. Please take steps to protect yourself against all out family warfare.
Assisted living is a wonderful step for many people. I'd look into that, if only for future reference. You can then tell your siblings how much that costs, which is a bonus!
Good luck,
Carol
