I have taken care of my mother for the past 6 years. Recently I became very ill and out of necessity, had to move my mother to a relatives. They now want to keep her full time as I compensate them for caring for mom. My concern is that they cannot commit to long range continual caretaking. For example, there will be 3 occasions from now to September where they want me to take her home for a days to a few weeks each time. My question is how will this affect a 97 year old with dementia and Alzheimer. Will this add to her confusion? Even though she won't remember the incidents, will she internalize it and feel unwanted. My health issues are not resolved and I don't want to burn any bridges, but I do want to do what is in Mom's best interests even if that means bringing her home and coping with my health issues while caring for her.
Thank you for your responses. It gave me ideas of where to turn to for guidance.
Also, I also research the web for medical advice. I especially like WebMD.
