This article was very helpful. Thank you. I am in a similar situtation.
this article is a rehash of every take care of mom article I have ever read. "stay tuned" for how to pay for it????? Time to be real - get to the heart of the matter and leave the heroic daughters making casseroles stories for another blog.

Great article, and thanks for pointing out the differences between hiring an independent caregiver vs. one from an agency. Agencies are great, but are also expensive. www.Caresquare.com is a good alternative to agencies, as it equips families directly with the ability to run their own background checks and check references themselves right on the site. Hope this helps!
Terrific article. Thanks for the real-life insight into your decision process.
