We do have a place where we can get such alarms. I think we will be needing to plan for some things like this soon. We got through the weekend pretty well and Dad has come home from his retreat rested and refreshed. You are so right, that breaks make a huge difference.<br /><br />It is so helpful when people like you share your advice with those of us going through what you have experience with.<br /><br />Rev.

It is a tough road and while you may not believe it now, a fast road. We too kept my Dad home for as long as we could that was his wish and my mom's - it wasnt a finance issue, rather a death do us part issue... got to love them. But - when my Dad hit the stage it sounds as though your mom is in - we got alarms on the doors - its a company - that i can get you the name for if you are interested - it alerted you via voice command which door (external)in the house was being opened/shut... it gave me and my mom some sense of ease as we didnt feel like we had to be with my dad every second of the day - and gave him some dignity too.<br /><br />I wish you well - take time for yourselves - this is a tough weekend without the primary caregiver there - but - make sure you take a break when you can - Blessings to you !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
