Touring a nursing home for my mom.
I am touring a place where my mother and father may be placed for their continued care. If all looks good then it may be where they will go soon. My brother knows nothing about it. He does not want my parents to be put in a rest home. But it is necessary. We can't take care of them properly and I think he only cares about them spending money and him not getting it.
I am hopeful that this place is the one, it is reasonably priced as well so they will be able to afford it for a while. I hope long enough for them to come to peace with passing. I think my mother is already there but my dad with his Alzheimer's doesn't really understand what is happening anymore and is constantly asking us to find him some help. All we can do is babysit him.
This is the first step toward regaining some hold on my own life again and maybe finding a job to provide for myself. It will be an awakening for my brother who will also have to start taking care of his own debts and so not live as luxuriously has he has been.
My only worries is for my sister who has lived her whole life with my parents. She will have to get used to living on her own much more and being alone for longer than she is used to being. IT may be too much for her and they will have to find a group home for her. She really doesn't want this and wants to remain in her family house if possible. this is what my mother has worked out. But there is talk that it may not be practical. I'll do what I can to help her remain there if she can.
