I was made redundant last Tuesday and in the same week decided that my Mother, who has been living with Alzheimer's for the last 5 years can no longer cope living at home by herself (she lives 140 miles from me). In one sense losing my job was fortunate in that I can look after her during the day in the short term but I will need to find another job to pay my mortgage within 3 months and don't know what to do about care then? I am obviously pretty stressed at the moment. I should add that Mum keeps insisting that she must go back to her own home but she is now becoming a danger to herself.
I live in Evesham, Worcestershire and one option would be to pay for home care (Mum's savings mean that we are not entitled to free care) but wondered if there are any nearby day centres (like children's nurseries) where I could drop her in the morning and pick her up after work in the evening as she is still very sociable. Am I being naive? do these sorts of places exist? Do nursing homes offer patient care on a daily basis? Are there any near Evesham.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
