How have you dealt with people who go through this? What information could I read up on?
We're dealing with this with my mother right now. Us kids have gotten together to pay for a sitter in the house for 5 hours, 7 days a week. The sitter bathes her every day and does housecleaning and some cooking. We also got a lift so that my dad can transfer her in and out of bed without having to lift her. So far the arrangement is working out. The sitter gets only $9.50 an hour, so that's less than $1,500 a month. With all of us contributing to the cost, it's been affordable.
