Hi Joy,
I will be happy to share any thing I learned about caring for elderly parents. I learned by doing it all wrong so now I have the retrospect knowledge.
First thing I wish I had done was taken mom and dad to get evaluated by geriatric specialists on day 1. I didn't see them everyday so really I didn't know what type of care they needed. Some people hide their dementia pretty well...my dad case in point. Had I done that first I would have not had to move them twice.
Bless you for helping her. The elderly need it whether they think they do or not. They can be a little stubborn at first. It's hard when they start losing their independence. I understand that. That's why getting the specialists involved early helps. IMO
xoxo
