My mum is in her 80s and is gradually getting more and more confused. She is fiercely independent and any suggestion she might move into a home is rebuffed out of hand. She wants to stay in her current home until she dies (she says).
I live about 300 miles away, so can't monitor on a day to day basis, but she is eating and taking her medications when she should.
I don't know if I should be pushing harder for her to get more help at home, or should be pushing harder for her to go into a home. I know she'd hate both, but I want to do the best by her I can. (Me moving to live closer to her, or her moving closer to me, aren't really options.)
Has anyone been through this and able to offer the benefit of their experience?
