Heartbroken over mom’s wanting to go home from nursing home

My mother has been in a nursing facility for five months, and she cries and wants to go home. I can’t tell her that it isn’t possible for her to do so, because it would break her heart and mine. She isn’t able to walk, is incontinent and has mild dementia.

What happens when the community spouse runs out of money, can’t make it on just social security and the other spouse is in a nursing home?

My parents have very little money. When one goes into a nursing home, which may or may not happen, if the other community spouse cannot make it (rent, food, utilities) on just social security, do they go on welfare

I just wonder why people are so rude on here when you leave thoughtful comments to try make them feel better.

I geuss they must be going thru care giver burn out…..well you shouldn’t take things out on innocent bystanders who take their time to read your post and then attack because you leave a certain detail out or don’t know the date it occured!!lol. People really ought to relax more! The care giving stress REALLY gets to some people!
