My fiancee takes care of his mom at home. Up until recently she has been able to be on her own while he works but now she can't remember how to go to the bathroom, if she has eaten, or if she has taken medication. The safeguards that were in place no longer work because she can't understand them anymore. What do we do next? It's not safe at home for her and she refuses outside caregivers or adult day care.
This is the really hard part of caregiving, becoming the adult and making the tough decisions because it is the right thing to do for your loved one.
Best of luck!
