I am the caregiver for my mom and brother who both live in the house. I come up and stay nights a week to help them but I would feel more comfortable, knowing that someone was in the house all the time. They are both physically healthy with some dementia. The biggest thing they need is help with cooking. I would still come an do appointments and transportation and meds. But just knowing someone was in the house with them would be good. My mom is 91 and my brother is 62. They can both do ADLs.
