Mom cannot be left along for days at a time. I work full time and would like to be able to take a short vacation away from home. Was thinking of having her aide visit on and off or stay over, both of which I had done during some emergency surgery. But I was wondering are there short term facilities for this? I know there is senior daycare.
AL facilities typically do respite care, duration of minimum stay is dependent on each facility. You can start calling around and find out who offers this service and create a list of places you can go tour when they are open for business again.
You can also have 24 hour aid in your home, especially if you have someone that you are already using.
