I don't want her to have ot go to a rest home


Question Posted Monday March 28 2005, 10:18 am

My mother is triplegic (meaning that she can't walk, and that she can't use one of her arms very well). Recently, I was taken out of my mother's home, and now she lives alone. In the past two years, she has moved twice. the first time she had a lung failure and my familly decided that she needed to move closer to us so that we could keep an eye on her. The second time, she got evicted. Now they are raising her rent (which was already too high for her to live comforatably) and she's worried that she's going to get evicted again. She's only forty seven, and she's been bed ridden since 21, and has gotten aid from Medicaid, and Medicare, but that won't be enough for this I'm afraid. After this house, she'll have nowhere left to go, and our house is too small ( we have seven people, a dog, and a cat)for her to live with us( and we are to poor to move either.) I don't want my mother to have to move into a rest home. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I love my mother soooooooooo much! Please don't delete my question, I really really really need some help!!!

Well you should find a family member or close friend of your moms to move in with her and help her out and help with the rent and all, or someone who would be willing to take her into their home.

I'm really sorry about your mom and that your put in this position. I know you love you mom, and really care for her, but if she does need to go to a rest home, it's probably just what's best for her. Support the desicion, because i'm sure that she'll be alot better in that enviroment. You can still visit her and all. I'm sure evrything will work out.
Best of luck- ~**Pinkymeowcat**~

Wow, I'm sorry. There is no close-by apartment where she can live. There are plenty of low-income apartments and such...and even though they are not the nicest to be in. She will have a home and will be close to you. I'm pretty sure you can find an apartment, in a reasonable price range, with an okay-neighbor hood...just look around. Dont give up. How about when she moves into the home, you can still look and if you find something...check her out!

How about her living with you, she could help as much as possible and you can get help from your other family members as well, you can give her her own room and everything, and if it makes you not be able to have fun anymorew than you can get someone to watch her when you go out.

i see what you're sayin and i really am sorry to hear all of this. i think you should talk to your mother and see what she thinks about going into a home. i know you dont want to let her go there, but maybe it is for the best. think it over and try and do whats best for the both of you. take care and keep your head up. if you need anything else, please dont hesitate to ask.
