Mom and I used Elder Law in Illinois...it was expensive and I still am not sure it was worth the $10,000 it cost. She is now in Hospice care at 95 and is in assisted living with lots of care. She is very cunning and she expects me to sit by her 24/7. When I am not there she does whatever tricks she can to make me come. She falls out of bed (6" off the floor with heavy rubber mats on both sides of the bed)just as the nurse walks out of the room. She actually just sort of drops her legs off and hits the call button. I am basically a patient person but she is "pushing buttons". She once asked me why I was doing so much for her because she wouldn't have done it for me. I told her I knew that but we are just different people. I am her only living "child" so there is no one to share this burden. Thanks for listening.
