It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I don't understand, what do you mean she's "moving in" and you work? If she's unable to be left alone for extended periods of time maybe she shouldn't be moving in without the support already in place. If she does need supervision there are many homecare agencies you can pay to come in and be with her.
Research different care agencies and compare prices etc. Caring is a lot of work. Don't do it alone. If you can't afford it, see if she is eligible for medicaid.
A giant bottle of wine (for yourself, not her). ;-)
Just kidding... The level of help and how much you need entirely depends on your mom's physical and mental states. Does she need help out of bed? Can she remember to take her medications? Does she need nursing care? Etc., etc.
At 91, I'm guessing your mom is going to need someone with her every hour that you are not, so you may need to hire in-home care. This will cost your mom a MINIMUM of $20/hr and more likely closer to $40/hr, depending on the level of care required. Alternatively, you could try a local adult daycare program. In my mom's city it was less than $15/hr and included lunch + snacks. The base program ran from 9am - 3pm, but they also had "extended hours" from 7:30-9:00am and/or 3-5:30pm.
If your mom qualifies for Medicaid, then daycare might be covered (at least in part), but in-home care maybe not. The devil is in the details as to what is or isn't covered, so do ask an EC attorney for advice. And talk to a tax lawyer as well. Can you deduct daycare for a dependent mom while you work like you can for your kids? I don't actually know the answer to that, but it's worth asking.
If Mom is low income, I would try Medicaid for help. They will evaluate and tell u what they can provide. They may be able to pay partially or fully for Daycare. My Moms Daycare was County run. She had money so she paid $80 a day, 3x a week. They came and picked her up at 8am, fed her breakfast and lunch. Even bathed her for me. They brought her home at 2:30. U maybe able to find a DC that keeps them longer.
The only way I see you being able to declare DC expenses is if you are paying for it. But a good point.
Otherwise, getting help will be pricy. Hiring privately brings with it some problems. Like payroll taxes andcis the person dependable.
