So I have been caring for my Mum over the last 7 years. She has remained within her own home but is in hospital at the moment. There is discussion regarding discharges she is very very frail and poorly. I was wanting to her about people’s experiences. My option is to leave her in her own home with a care package in place but I am worried about the impact of work and travel (she is 30mins minimum away from me) or my other option is take her into my own home with carers. What have people done and what are experiences like?
Hi Claire MF
With my mum and dad - initially they remained in their own home with carers, later they moved to a sheltered housing project where they had their own flat but 24/7 cover on site if they pulled any of the emergency cords.
With my wife's dad she and her brother cared for at home for a while but as his needs became more intense he moved into a care home.
Never an easy decision, so good luck with whatever you decide.
