I just want to say thank you for looking seriously into finding a way to take care of your Mom within your own home. That she has been independent til now means she is a strong lady, as you obviously know. I know you can't afford it, but the fact you are keeping her out of assisted living is probably a blessing for her, and maybe for you. I wish I grew up in the family culture where this was possible with my mom. But she refused that option and remains steadfastly independent, even though she is deteriorating quickly and doing so while basically alone/isolated. Anyway, thank you again and good luck.
