I went with my sister and her husband yesterday to see a long term care home for my mom. It was a beautiful facility but unfortunately the homes in our area are now a 4 to 5 year wait. It is different for the private care homes I think, but they are very expensive. The government care centre will start sending a worker to help with bathing my mom for an hour, a couple of times per week, and hopefully that will help somewhat with her ongoing care. They have recommended updates to her bathroom, such as a shower chair, grab bars, etc.
I arranged with my mom's pharmacy to start creating 4 week pill packs for her. They did a good job with the first batch picked up yesterday. She takes 14 pills in the morning (including 3 supplements) and 7 pills at night. It is a government service and there is no charge.
