Caring for my mom Member since August 12, 2009my mother was living with her twin sister in Iowa and moved in with my family almost 2 years ago. She has no friends here and relies on me completely for companionship. She is alone all day and is feeling depressed and lonely. I am feeling guilty for needing time to myself and feeling burdened. I feel bad for her but, I need time that I can spend alone with my husband, daughter or sometimes a friend. I spend every moment with her when I am not working. She recently sold her car and is not driving but, very healthy and able to care for herself. She needs a companion to visit her or take her to out to lunch now and then. Someone that would call and talk to her would even be great. Do you know of a "companion service" or something like that? She is pleasant, mentally sharp, and in good health. She loves to talk to people. She does not have transportation to the senior center even though it is very close to where we live.
