My mother complains about EVERYTHING and has a really dark spirit, she will be leaving rehab shortly and is need of companionship in the evening after her A.M. care giver leaves. She barely mobile has mobile devices that can help her and refuses to USE them, I’d like to have her placed somewhere so she can receive the quality care that she needs but that’s another story as well. I’ve become so frustrated and stressed out that I’m at the end of my rope. I feel like the evil in this lady will allow her to LIVE FOREVER and I’m not willing to compromise my peace I’m old myself! H E L P!!!

Tell her no, you cannot do this. Period. She can hire additional help, accept placement, or stay alone. Placement where she can receive the quality of care she needs is NOT another story, it is part of this one. She won’t see that if you continue to fill that need, at the expense of your own physical and mental health. So don’t do it. You matter too. Tell the rehab staff that you are not available at all and let them work with her. Stay strong. You deserve a life of your own.

If your mother can remain at home the choices are hire in-home caregivers that she pays for. Or she can move into a small AL apartment with staff and assistance. Don't take her to move in with you and you don't move in with her. That won't work for either of you.
