Hi @Shaz51
This is a big deal - I guess you have known that this time would come - your mother is very frail and having joint replacement surgery could sap her self-confidence
Your health has been stressed through all of this and it would be easier for you to have your mother having 24/7 care - and this isn't selfish at all if your mother is ready to go into to supported care
Tough decisions though - and you think your mother might be developing dementia and this would be tougher to work through - but if she is ready to go into care - then she is ready - and the time you spend with her will be quality care
All the best from your second Mum

I wish your family the best @Shaz51 - this is not an easy time for a family
I know you will all have your mother's best interests at heart - she has been battling for a long time and now perhaps really does need more help that you can give her - but still somehow inside herself doesn't want to admit it
And you must consider your health as well - and Mr Shaz needs you at the best you can be - we all do
Sending my best thoughts
