Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Testing concluded her mind ia good, just struggles with mobility and balance is terrible. Daughter had a heart attack and can’t hold out doing physical things for her.
If she is of sound mind she can make her own decisions whether they are POOR decisions or not.
Do not participate in care and enable poor choices. Check on her daily by phone, and have wellness check if she cannot answer phone or use fall prevention call devise.
She will not move to care if you do all the care.
Eventually, with the very poor balance and mobility she will land in the hospital. At that time call in social workers who will decide upon evaluation if she is responsible for her own decisions and safety. They can get you emergency temporary guardianship if that is needed.
I would otherwise not intervene. We elders WILL DIE. We may die at home or in care, but the certainty is that WE WILL DIE. I would not intervene in someone well enough to make her own decisions, nor would I ENABLE those decisions.
"Your family member’s level of care is determined by his/her physician. The doctor will complete a FL-2, this is North Carolina’s form that describes a patient’s medical condition and the amount of care they need when placed in a facility. A completed FL-2 form is required for Medicaid recipients admitted into any long term care facility."
Hi Nette So you are considering trying for guardianship for your mom in spite of her being competent? I assume you mean that mom has been deemed competent when you report her “mind is good” per her completed test.
Sometimes accepting someone has “rights” doesn’t seem expedient or do much for our own anxiety for their well being. My understanding is the courts require her to be incompetent before they will strip her of her rights and give them to another.
Have you been led to believe you can gain guardianship of a competent person?
Thanks Barb for the meaning of an FL2. All I could find was it was for Family leave for pregnacy.🙂
So, what do you plan on doing with Gaurdianship, use it to place her? Will she not go willing to an Assisted Living? Seems shevhasvher mind so guardianship will not work. She hasvto be incompetent to makevher own decisions. Will she allow an aide to be hired?
