Caring for my mom Member since January 25, 2010Hi, I began taking care of my 95 year old mother in Oct 2009. She came to live with my husband and I in Cincinnati. Her previous home was in Oregon OH, suburb of Toledo. She lived with her Son in her home since her husbands death years ago. For the last couple years she had a decrease in mobility because of arthritis of the knees and dementia. Peridonitis was also a condition she was suffering with. We are under physician's care in Cincinnati for both her dental issues and general health issues. The last three month have been an adjustment for both Mom and Me. I'm glad to be there for her and I know she is thankful I am here for her. I have four brothers. Myself and two youngest brother have always pulled together whenever Mom needs us. My Mom and Dad were fine parents and I'm thankful that I can be here for Mom and give my brother a much needed break. Caring.com has been a welcome source of information. I hope to meet some new friends that share in difficult job of care taking.
