  My Mom went from taking care of herself, making it to all her appointments and managing her meals and meds to nothing in about 3 months. After she left something on the stove more than once we had to more her in with my Wife and Kids.

  It is tough. She is basically bedridden and can't do much more than feed herself and change the channel. Our eldest daughter (26) moved back in with us but helps when she can. In California people can get paid for helping. The money is minimal but it makes it easier. It helps our eldest pay for college and he care and keeps my Mom out of an expensive full-care home.
