I bookmarked these 16 threads a while back because I saw this all coming with my Mom....and just added the most recent one to make 17 all together.

She turns 100 next February and is still living at home by herself.

I bring over provisions and try to keep an eye on everything helping her where needed.

I have taken over all finances and property management.

Fortunately I only live about 15 minutes away.

She had a fall on Labor Day - nothing broken and no injuries. Just needed some R&R at a SNF to get her strength back. She had been neglecting her diet. So we have home health coming in for a month now and will continue for at least 1 more.

In conversations with some of the home health folks, in particular the behavioral specialist, I'm learning a few things about why Mom says and does the things she does that don't make any sense.

Her short term memory is not good so probably has some Dementia.

There's a whole lot I could add about what I'm working on to help with all this, including getting a caregiver....but for now wanted to refresh the subject and also list all the previous threads on the subject I have found in case it's of any help to anyone else.
