I am a fulltime caregiver for my Mom of 94. My husband is in Ga with a Mother in ICU who may not make it and a Step Dad dying of stage 4 cancer, I may need to go. I live in NC and take care of my mom who cannot take care of herself. I was wondering if there is a place to take her temporarily? I don't want to hire in home care as they have not been reliable in the past and have stick fingers..Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have some options so you can go and take care of other business. Check out other long-term care settings at freeltcquotes. If you will be gone for a day only, you may try adult day care services, but if you will be gone for a week to a month, respite care would be your best option. After all, respite care services can be done either through home or in a long-term care facility. Some assisted living also offers temporary stay, so depending on your preference, you can choose which settings will be the best for your mom's need.

Call nearby memory care facilities to inquire about a respite stay. It will take some planning so do not wait until the last minute. Or try a different home care agency.
