The schedule

The hospice nurse will come 2-3 times a week, and a social worker will come by twice a week to bathe her and make sure she stays clean.

The nurse reiterated that someone should be near at hand at all times, but Mom's being stubborn and doesn't want to hire a part-time caregiver. She also refused to take her cough medicine or her inhalant until the nurse and I told her to, so we'll see how this pans out. Otherwise, it'll be Dad on the day shift and me on the night shift, with a few hours of leeway to let Dad get some sleep. Mom had him running around starting at 5 this morning.
