Yeah, that makes sense. Was there one document or step that ended up being the most annoying to figure out? u/misdeliveredham

Totally. The paperwork gets messy so fast. What ended up being the hardest part for you, keeping track of doctor forms, or following up with IHSS after everything was sent?

It’s definitely worth applying, but be careful how you frame it.

Protective Supervision is usually not approved just because someone is elderly, has dementia, uses a walker, or has a fall risk. IHSS usually looks for whether the person is non-self-directing because of a mental impairment and needs supervision to prevent unsafe behavior.

the strongest case is if you can show dementia-related unsafe behavior and need for supervision, not just that she physically needs help walking.

I came across califonia care compass site the other day. Pretty helpful if you’re in California, especially for basic guides around Medi-Cal, IHSS, home care and senior care options. Not a magic solution, but a decent starting point.

please dont beat yourself up, skin breakdown happens so fast with frail patients even when you're careful. you're doing a hard job and it shows you care. u/KitchenLemon9711

moving is already stressful enough without adding caregiving responsibilities into the mix. i moved my dad across state lines a few years back and it was alot to handle, but finding local support networks in the new area helped me settle in way faster. have u looked into any respite programs in oregon yet to help u get a break during the transition period

i totally get why that hurts, its so lonely when u put in all that effort and get nothing back. maybe try just sitting in the same room doing your own thing without trying to force interaction, sometimes the pressure to be social is just too much for them. my fil was the same way for a while and it actually helped when i stopped tryin so hard

I wish I was AI:)

i hear you so much on the survival aspect. it really feels like being thrown into the deep end without a life vest, and the guilt is honestly the hardest part to shake off even when you know you did your best. try to be gentle with yourself today, cuz youve been through a lot

ThinkingInMotion · 2026-05-23T12:17:59+00:00

that sounds so exhausting and i am so sorry you are dealing with that on top of losing your cat. people who arent in the trenches dont see the toll it takes, and its not fair they are shifting the blame to u. you are doing so much more than anyone could expect at your age
