Senior Care: Should my mom go to a carehome, nursing home or need a
24-hr live-in caregiver?

Written by Connie Dello Buono motherhealth@gmail.com www.motherhealthcare.com

About two-thirds of our 40plus generations are taking care of their mom and dad
and most of them are doing it from another state while their parents are home
alone. About 1 out of 4 needs long term care although we have more healthy
population now that we are health conscious and with new research in health and
science. In 37 yrs, about 70% of our retiring population will receive social
security income and most of us are not expecting much from it. With all this
statistics, we are on our own trying to navigate caring for ourselves, our
retirement and our parents.

Motherhealth Inc is an in home health care service that also takes care of the
families in the areas of home care and retirement. The many questions asked
when caring for mom and dad are answered in the Senior Care ebook: 50
questions asked when caring for your mom or dad at home or in carehomes April
2011. We provide references about medicare, social security and list of providers
in the bayarea for seniors from carehomes and nursing homes/rehabs to living
trust lawyers and financial service companies offering tax-free annuities and other
financial service.

By calling 1-800-4homeca or 408-854-1883, all nearby cities around the bayarea
can get referral to a carehome or caregiver for live-in or 10-hr in-home health
care. The in-home health care price ranges from $15 and up and the care home
from $3500 per month and up depending on level of care. When your loved one
leaves a rehab depending on the care needed, the primary doctors would suggest
that 24-hr care is needed so that a live-in caregiver is then needed.

Based on your accommodations at home and wishes of your mom with
Alzheimer's disease or Stroke or other medical conditions that need assistance in
daily living, a carehome, nursing home or caregiver at home might be the
solution. For a caregiving at home, you can also do it with help from 2-hr per
week visits by an in-home health nurse, nurse practitioner, physical therapist,
speech therapist, and other health professionals.

For nursing homes, all these health care professionals are on-site. At times, when
your loved one has terminal illness or refused to be cared for in the hospital and
is deemed to be dying, wished to die at home and so the primary doctor would
say that your loved one needs hospice care. Hospice case nurses also visits your
home 2-hr per week and your loved one still needs a 24-hr caregiver which is also
present in a carehome setting. In a carehome licensed for 6 elderly clients, there
are at least 2 caregivers who provide 24-hr care.
