She went to a senior center 2 days a week. It was great, we got a break & time alone!! Than they called & said she couldn’t come back because she wasn’t independent. She often needs help standing to her rollator. There’s a center that would accept her but it’s $85/day!! What have any of you found???
I know we'd PAY the $85 in a heartbeat if it cost anything. As it is, it's a subsidized program, she does pay for her Bingo cards and her lunch. Any activities away from the Center are extra.
Do check into low income support. I know around here a lot of $$ goes unused b/c people don't think to ask.
If I 'babysat' dad daddy for 6-8 hrs, I could have been paid around $60-70.
First check around and see if there is a different Sr Center, Mother's is very geared towards people in wheelchairs, scooters, etc. The one at the rehab unit charges about $60 a day. Food is better, and they do have exercise classes and craft classes, so it's a different setting altogether.
What does Mom do with her money if she is living with you? If she can afford it, use it for Adult care.
