Should I hire a private nurse for Mom in a nursing home?

I too know of extra help at nursing homes. Vising Angels is a good place to start for private duty. Sometimes people need extra help at night.

I've know of many people that hire what we call (mom) sitters to help out with people in nursing or assisted living homes. I've even seen several in senior apts. They help with feeding, bathroom times, conversation and they wheel or walk people around to get them out of the room. I don't believe the administration minds the extra attention.

This sounds highly irregular. To keep everything above board, arrange a meeting with the manager of the nursing home, and this person. If the person becomes panicky, or agitated, then you knw there's something wrong. If this proposal is agreed by the person, then go ahead with the meeting and only if the manager agrees, then go for it. However, this sounds very hinky to me. A nursing home should not require extra help of this kind surely?
