My Mom had a stroke this Jan, first she went to the ER, then to a Rehab then to a Boarding care home. She was at the home for 3 days, got a fever so she was taken to hospital. She has Pneumonia and several other problems with her organs. The doctor is talking Hospice to me yesterday. My brother and I both live with Mom now. I want to bring her home, my brother does not. One of my daughters wants me to bring her home and the other does not. The Boarding care home says it will be best to have Mom with her Hospice team at the home. My Mom needs 24/7 care, she can't walk or talk, and she is very confused. She is incapacitated! I am so confused as what to do. I believe that Mom would want to be in her bedroom and I've told her I would be right by her side in her last days. Thank you all.
Don’t feel as if you are responsible for home care. It’s too big of a job at this point.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
It’s natural to wonder at times what is the correct path to take. I feel that your mom was in the best place possible.
Hospice care is extraordinary!
I am so glad that you are at peace with the decisions that you made.
May your sweet mother Rest In Peace. She knew how much you loved her. It was completely obvious to me how much you cared.
Please stay in touch on the forum if you are so inclined.
I am going through the same situation right now. My mom is in end stage Parkinson’s disease. She is in an ‘end of life’ hospice house.
I can’t imagine mom living with me or my brother and sister in law again.
It would be too hard to care for her. She is completely bed bound now.
In a hospice facility she can be monitored 24/7. It truly is best all around, for our parents and us.
Prayers going out to you and I wish you peace at this very difficult and emotional time.
God bless!!
