Mostly Independent
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:
Summer4ever, anyone relative/friend can be a caregiver. If you decide you want to be Mom's caregiver, you need to plan ahead. Example, if you are employed, later down the road when Mom needs more care, would you be able to work part-time.
If you quit work to care for Mom, remember you will have no salary coming in, no employee health insurance, no paid vacation/sick days, and an array of other benefits that some company's offer. Unless your Mom can pay you to be her caregiver. If yes, then I would highly recommend you draw up an employment contract.
Most of us just jumped into being a caregiver with no previous training. Some people are cut out for this, other's aren't but are good with logistical things. It's overwhelming work.
If your Mom can qualify for Medicaid [which is different from Medicare] check with your State to see if they have a program that will pay you some type of salary. Medicaid is taxpayer funded. And to see what programs are available that would help your Mom.
I see your Mom is only 61 years old per your profile, and the list of health issues could find your Mom living another 20+ years. So everyone needs to plan ahead.
Personally, I would not quit my job. You need to accumulate credit towards your SS. Save towards retirement. We all are not caregivers. If your relationship with Mom is not close then I wouldn't even consider it.
Mom is 61, what does she need? If she can do for herself then she should do as much as she can. If you have family, they ru top priority.
Call your county Office of Aging. See what resources they maybe able to provide depending on what Mom needs. Does Mom get Medicaid as her health insurance? If so, check and see if she can get aides for a few hours a day. If she does not receive Medicaid, apply for it.
Research before you make a decision. There are a number of members that wish they hadn't gotten involved in caregiving and now having a hard time getting out.
