My mom is going to need more care than my dad. However, He needs help with some daily activities. Their ages are 76 (dad) and 69 (mom).

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

Often, they can. They may have to wait for a room to open where there are two beds, but unless your mom needs a memory unit, likely they can be together. I've seen that done quite a bit in my community.
Good luck,
Carol
