She gets sprung Monday. My brother is meeting the chair lift people. You know those things on the stairs? He is making her get one. I am laughing away. He is right, though.

She needs a nursing home. She could fall off that thing. Oh, wait. I think they have seat belts.

I just called her. Thankfully someone walked in her room so she had to hang up.

You need to find out what time she receives her meals or meds and call her then. When she's too busy to talk. ehehe

Those stair climbers are a blessing! The Uncle I
was taking care of ordered one the day after he
fell trying to go up the stairs with a couple of bags
of groceries. They have (overriding) wall controls
at both the top and bottom of the stairs. The chair
will not move unless it is fully in the safety position
and it will not turn so that the occupant could step
off on the "down" side of the chair unless it is at
the bottom of the stairs.

Yes, they DO have seat belts, and they can be
programmed so they won't move unless the belt
is fastened. They can go around curved stairs,
landings, and right angles.

And they're really not all that expensive.
Very much worth the help. I could load
it with 8 bags of groceries, and just walk
up the stairs beside it.

Whenever I think of those chair lifts, I think of all the horror movies where they are haunted and old ladies get stuck on them and then the chair goes crazy up and down, faster and faster, until she dies.

 Bossman has one.  It actually takes away from the appearance of the house.  But his wife needs it.

It makes me claustrophobic.  It is round and only fits one person, barely.  And it was very expensive.

 The only place they could put is was right as you walk in the front door in the foyer.  It is open to the third floor.  Most of the first floor outer walls are glass.

$30,000+ for this

That reminds me of that think you stick your cash/checks inside at the drive-through bank teller.

 There is just no making that pretty, is there?  For $30,000, I'd want something pretty.

OMG! Spent hours. Cleaned up her mail, wrote out bills. Then she starts crying at me. Doesn't want the nurse help. Can I do it? I said no.

I feel it's our moral obligation to make sure our parents are cared for but not to be the caretaker.
IMO is it's hard and easy to feel bad being the heavy but at a certain point when they can't make good decisions and it's safer for them to be in ALF thats where they need to be. Easier said than done I know.
I can say In all honesty I felt no guilt in being the mean guy with my parents and to some friends and family members who were in denial.
That's me Mean Mary!
