My mother is 91 years old and lives with us. My husband and I would like to take a cruise in January to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, but I don't want to leave mom alone at night. We would be gone about 3 weeks. I'm looking for someone reliable in Corpus Christi to stay with her at night, and who would be willing to take her to mass on Saturday evenings and to the grocery store if needed. Suggestions, anyone?
If you are thinking she may need a facility at some point, having her in respite care would give her a idea of what it would be like! Pick the best one that would be an option for some future date. AND if you have others come into your home, make sure ALL financial data, valuables, etc are locked away.

You might also check with an assisted living facility. If they're not full, they may well do respite care. This one specifically advertises short-term stays:

Good luck! And have fun!!
