I've been in the same situation as you are. My mother was 92 when she could no longer take care of herself, even while I visited her every day and prepared her dinner. Although she had told me over many years that she didn't want to go into assisted living, I encouraged her to try it so she could be safe. She was beginning to lose her memory and I was afraid for her safety. I put her in a very nice assisted living facility and she gradually accepted it as they "take very good care of me, it's clean, and the food is good". I visited her at least twice a week and she lived there for 2 years until she died at 94, a year ago. I stressed the need for my mother to be safe and she accepted it. I visited several assisted living facilities over 2 days and picked out one that was very attractive and had programs and facilities that tend to residents comfort and needs. The costs were all very close - around $5,000 a month which translates to about $7/hour for round the clock care. To have an elder care company send someone to her home each day would have cost about $75 a day for a 3-hour visit which was the minimum cost. A 3-hour visit just wouldn't address her 24-hour safety needs. It was a life changing event for all of us but something that needed to be done. Don't know if this helps answer your questions but you've got some decisions to make. Good Luck.
