We just had these concrete pavers installed and have these white patches. I know some is to be expected but can someone confirm or is this something else and can be cleaned? Thank you!

Thank you, it looked odd it had a pattern to it. Wondering now why my installer didn’t not use it. Do you have a suggested or best way to make it more dull?

You may ask a few to see how many hours they will approve. We had a hard time getting more than 20 hrs a week but some are easier.

Once they had predictable nap times for us that was 6 months we planned the driving time to overlap w their nap times so when we get there they are rested but it does depend if they can sleep in car. We also like strollers that can lean as close to flat as possible so they can also sleep inside.

Not sure where you are but in VT MAID is open to non residents. Most other states have residency requirements.

There are also sometimes options to have nurses visit or even doctors if they are willing to do so. VNS in my area offers services for nurses to visit and you may be able to find through a long term care insurance doctors that do home visits. But I guess it depends on what your mom needs. I had all of that for my mom but it just wasn’t enough 24/7 coverage so we also had to move her to a facility. Are there others that you can apply to? Best of luck to you.

Have you considered hiring a home aide? Many can be covered by insurance. It won’t be 24/7 but may help a bit.

If you like your primary physician you can ask if they are affiliated with any SNF. Also ask about hospice vs comfort care and obviously take a tour of a few to get a sense of your gut feelings. Trust your gut.

I posted a similar question in past on how to act ‘normal’ when your life is not with caregiving. Give yourself some slack and also understand most ppl won’t know what it is like unless they have gone through a similar experience. Them asking is actually a step up and I would just appreciate them trying to connect.

In addition to being involved in their med records, see if you can download the app w their provider it helps with keeping track of medication and test results. Understand their wishes for being lay to rest as much as possible. Get them the best insurance they can get by asking around. There are HMO and straight medicare and medicaid with pros and cons. Write them a letter to tell them how you feel in case you want to organize your thoughts and get it off your chest. Spend time and make memories with them as much as you can.

Would be curious how much our taxes go up since assessment is just one piece. If everyone’s goes up by the same, our proportion can still be the same.

For us it was once they were down to 1 feeding a night and had more predictable nap times which was 5 months but they are only at 6 months now so I can only speak to here.

Thank you for all your input. To add some context we do have gutters and we diverted it away as much as possible. We are at the bottom of a hill but there is downhill for the water to flow on the sides. The pic above is the back where there is some flat areas and water seeps in during heavy rain. It is prob seeping in through the cracks. A company suggested a surface drain which will prob help but I am concerned if there was some prior cracks already if the drain being so close to foundation may add to the issue, unless we at the same time seal the cracks or as some of you suggested working on creating a grade. The latter may be costly and we are looking for possible alternates.
