  1. I agree. I also want to apologize to the board if I gave the impression that the diagnosis of a particular illness or affliction "warrants" nursing home care. I do not. I agree with the poster I quoted that it is the ability to look out after ourselves, not the affliction,determines the need for nursing home care
  2. My mother hated having her father in a nursing home. My husband would have much rather stayed at home than gone to inpatient hospice. But there comes a time when you have done all you can and professional care is needed. Folks with dementia reach a point where they tend to be difficult to care for at home. Diabetics can be as well. And recurrent UTI's make both of those diseases more difficult to manage. It sounds like that time has come for professional care. So PLEASE do not allow yourself to accept feelings of guilt or failure because you can no longer take care of her. The poster who mentioned getting legal assistance is correct. Where I live there are attorney's who specialize in the legal situations of the elderly. You need someone to help you deal with APS- I wouldn't recommend trying to do that alone, and what options you can exercise to make sure your grandmother is taken care of. I will repeat that you have done what you have been able to do and sacrificed much. Now it sounds like it's time for professional care
  3. I have worked in toxic/abusive environments. And the workplace I'm in now is as well. Not in the way you're describing- but more involved than the boss being a jerk on occasion. The main piece of advice I can give you is that if you will be dilligent in praying about the situation and doing the job to the best of your ability, God makes it clear when it's time to move on. He always Has for me. There have been times when things wee quite difficult, but He would say "stay put." And when the time did come, the doors opened.
