My husband as well as I have always agreed, from early on, that the two of us never wanted our parents to end up in a home. So long as they were medically ok, the two of us wanted to be able keep them in their homes for as long as possible as well as then even transactivity them in with us if need be. Now, these things are becoming more as well as more of a reality, as well as I have to admit it is quite concerning. My parents, for the most space are still absolutely self adequate. My husband’s mom, now a widow, is a totally odd story. We have many concerns over her well being during the average day as well as are trying to find solutions that will allow her to remain in her home. We have removed many obstacles that could pose a falling risk as well as taken care of many of the physical things… The things the two of us can not control are things like, leaving the stove on, forgetting to turn off the water, or setting the Heating and A/C method to ninety degrees on a tepid Summer day. For some reason she decides that it is Winter time as well as turns the heat on. When my husband reminds her that it is Summer as well as turns it off, she waits until he leaves as well as turns it back on. It can be care about dealing with a stubborn child at times. We called the Heating and AC dealer to see about putting in a Smart Thermostat with a lock box on it. The technology to program it could be tied to his cell cellphone so he could monitor the temperature of the apartment at all times. The lock box would eliminate her ability to try as well as change the temperature when she was alone. This is absolutely the only viable solution to the complication as having the apartment set as a sauna is absolutely not good for her.
