Find Care & Housing
1 2 3
I haven't received an answer from anyone yet Me1000. I'm getting kinda desperate because my mother has already paid for the house, we will have to move soon and once we move we can't come here as much, we don't have a car which makes it harder. As much as it breaks my heart I will have to turn my back on this situation, I was diagnosed with Paranoid schizophrenia three months ago and according to my psychiatrist this isn't the best environment to live when you have this condition, in fact my symptoms are getting worse even with medication. I was also diagnosed with depression and I don't feel any improvement either.

Hannah, your mother is making this courageous move for you. For God's sake back her up. Your grandmother is not your mother's sole responsibility, she is DEFINITELY not yours, and you must not undermine your mother's efforts. Put her and yourself first; write a factual report for APS about your grandmother for information only, if you must; then rest your mind. Your mother needs this move to work, and so do you. Look forward.

Have you gotten a hold of anyone yet? Keep calling your grandmas Dr, call the the hospital, any one you can think of and let them know you and your mom can no longer care for your grandma and give them your grandmas other kids numbers and addresses.

I wish you and your mom lots of strength, happiness and health, as well as your grandma.

Hannah. This may be tough to hear, but you answered your own question in your own letter. You say Grandma needs someone 24/7. It's time to look for a great nursing home. Her other family members aren't willing to step up to the plate. I feel leaving her to her own devices would be like leaving a baby home alone. Who is her POA? Steps need to be taken to see that she is taken care of, since her other children can't be bothered. Ask them if they want to meet to discuss the situation. If not, they don't have a vote in the decision. It's time for a talk with your grandmother. You can do this.

You have done all you could. Just be sure that 911 knows who to call if she is taken to the ER. That would be the person with a POA or Health Care Proxy. The POA is legally responsible for her.
