maybe speak to the hospital and find out if they have a counsellor who can help you decide what to do. It’s not something you have to work out on your own. Seek support and advice for you. Your mother’s welfare and the decisions around it will come out of that.--- thank you my wonderful sister @Faith-and-Hope ,xxxxx

I will talk to her doctor about it

I think my cousin and aunty would already have my mum in a home already

I know hat my mum wants and we have arrranged everything for the onset of dementia

so i just need to be strong for me and for mum and knowing when the time comes for mum for more expert care xx

Was she badly hurt from the falls? @Shaz51 SOmetimes I have had falls and they really knock me, but I would be horrified if it meant being put in a home.

[Zoe7]

You will do what you need to do hen the time is right @Shaz51 You know your mum bettermthan anyone as you are the one that cares for her my sister. It is not easy what you have to deal with but you do it without question or complaint - shows your immense strength and character 

@Faith-and-Hope Really missing you Hon but still sitting with you and holding your hand 💕🌹😘

My dad wanted to die at home too @Shaz51, but it's not very realistic, or fair on you... and as someone said to me... "selfish of them",  But my dad has bad dementia and incontinence and high falls risk. Your mum might not quite be there yet. Assess  her home for trip hazards etc. Check  out the 'my aged care' site. 🌷💜
