Best wishes. I did it all with my mom. Lot of doing. 2 years assisted living, 1 year NH.
She did not want leave her home, till she fell and broke her hip then the doc said "got to go" (hospital --> NH --> Asst Liv --> NH)
I take it you are POA. Lots to do. Taxes, House, Utilities, and more... social workers, nurses and finally hospice workers all in your future.
Cancelling the utils was a pain. Even tho I was POA they still had to hear from her a couple times on the phone to cancell them. Selling the house was the main chore.
I was glad to do it, and I wish she was still alive of course but I am glad to have my time back again.
Unfortunatelly you cant have both the parent alive and all your time (as it once was). Something that has to be done.
