  • when do you know when its time to put elderly person in nursing home?

    my wife is first power of attorney and 2 nd power of attorney is her sister for her mother she has two other children who did not want to be involved with the family for a number of years well anyways mother was diagoised with alzhemers she fell in her home we had fist alert installed but she didnt press button when she fell so we sent her to nursing home for rehab on her shoulder cause she did damage to her shoulder now we had the cops program which has nurses comming in to give her showers and giving her pills that doctor has prescribed now we had meeting with social workers last week with the two power of attorneys along with nuse from cops program,social worker from from nursing home and social worker from the cops program we all agreed that my mother in law needs 24 hour supervision which we have asked the family members if they would be willing to pitch in and help all have said no including 2nd power of attorney which is fie with us then we asked my adult kids if they would be willing they said yes without hesitation now the two sisters are threating my wife that if she removes her mother they will contact protective services on her mind you she would be supervised at her home more one on one than in any nursing home she was resently seen by her doctor and what he says is she could return home but only for a year or 2 then she would have to be placed in nursing home because demensia is a progressive condition of alzhimers but to what extent do social workers know more about demensia than a doctor which they are all failing to see and as far as social worker from nursing home is saying is she does not need skilled workers at this time so family members would be acceptable people to help out it seems like every time wife comes up with a plan her sister seems to find a way to thow a wrench into it now that the daughter that wast involved in her mothers life but wants to now looking for a salution to this problem cause all this arguing is driving me nuts also during meeting my sisterin law which i hate to call her that sjhe would always interupt people when they were talking and she cut my wife down so much and said my wife doesnt follow things throu which is far from the truth if anyone isnt following throu it would be her anyways i herd enough from her and blurted out for her to shut up which i had wanted to do for the last 20 years but have been afraid of doing but since i had a mild stroke 4 years ago seems like i dont take any crap from anyone now just looking for anyones view point that has gone throu this
