My 70 year old mother has been diagnosed with vascular demensia. We just found out last May. Since then she has been on a new medication to help her with her memory which has helped a lot. She has been living with my dad at home but now he is 82 years old and has been working to keep up two acres, a home and take care of my mom. My dad's doctor called the public administrator and told her that my dad's health is failing because of all the stress of taking care of my mom and the home and yard. He is no longer able to care for my mom and the public administrator called me to tell me she is moving my dad into public housing and wanted to know if I wanted guardianship over my mother. I am a single parent with one nine year old daughter and I have to work to support us. I don't make a lot of money. My mother has to be cared for 24/7 and I would either have to hire someone to care for her while I work or stay home with her and care for her myself. If I don't take guardianship of her, the public administrator said she will be her guardian and she will be put in a nursing home. My mother still knows what is going on and has no idea that her husband is going to be moving and he can't care for her anymore. She will not understand why he is leaving and the home has to be sold. I don't think my mother is at the point of her disease that she needs to be put in a nursing home but her husband can't take care of her and I am the only child she has that is able to care for her. My brothers are all on drugs or disability. I want to take her but my brothers and the public administrator all said it will be too much for me. They said an alzheimer's patient may become violent and may not let me take care of her. She isn't to that point yet and I think I could take care of her now but I was advised that she eventually will have to go in a home anyway and that it would be easier on me to let her go now. She has loss of short term memory now but she still can take care of herself and is not real bad off yet. I was told that could change very quickly or it may not. What I am praying for is for God to show me whether or not I need to take her or if I should allow her to be placed in a nursing home. I want to try to take her but what if I take her and realize it is too much for me to handle? I don't want to be the one to have to put her in a nursing home. I have to decide this week what I am going to do. I am terrified I will do the wrong thing. I don't want my mom to think I don't want her. She will cry and beg me to get her out of a nursing home if she is put in one. I don't want to do that to her but it will cost me a lot of money I don't have to hire an attorney and to get power of attorney over her. I don't know how to handle this and ask that everyone will help me pray for this situation. Thank you.
