Daughter wants agency to watch ailing mom

Home Care by David DiFilippo

   Q: My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a few years ago. She's now at the point where she needs someone with her during the days that I'm at work, but I'm uneasy about interviewing home care companies. Are there specific things I should inquire about in terms of how they care for those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia? How do I know she'll be safe?
