DM PeanutButter for sure. |
Today i leaned carfax is useless for vehicle status. Useto be you buy carfax and you get the clean/rebuilt status with it. No more. Buys carfax for 80$ > no vehicle status :facepalm: Shows everything else tho Icbc website direct is 20$ for vehicle status. |
Carfax is poo. I have mileage discrepancies from them in my own ownership in the e36. Guess my mileage jumped 80k in 2 months then dropped 70k a year later. Sounds legit. Impossible to get anyone to deal with it so I just don’t bother. |

Checking status only is free on icbc site. And what are the possible outcomes for the zero claims? Something that took zero dollars to polish out? |

Damn... I'd be pissed if I paid $80 for Carfax, and it doesn't show vehicle status. Getting to see the vehicle status is like 1/3 of the reason to pay for Carfax. Quote:

Yah, I learned recently that many mechanics, shops, and even dealers don't subscribe or participate in Carfax so there are a LOT of gaps or missing info. It's not what it used to be in terms of a reliable report. |

Online resources I found: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/f...ia-information https://alzheimer.ca/bc/en/help-supp...a-resources-bc Denial from family members will only delay the inevitable outcome. Care giver burnout from your mom will likely come next which usually leads to a visit to Emergency. Ideally you can convince your family to avoid this route and manage better in the comfort of home. |

Power of attorney is very important, and as a family you may need to start discussing the idea of assisted living, eventually. We ended up having to put my mother into an assisted living facility because it became too dangerous for her to live on her own. People with dementia can leave sinks running and flood their home, or leave the stove on and cause a fire. It sucks man, but preparing yourself and the family for the inevitable deterioration is important, and looking into how housing will be handled as things get worse. |

One of my friends went through a similar process with his mom. I don't know the details besides knowing it was a difficult but correct choice to put her in a care home. He felt guilty initially, but there came a point where at-home care was no longer safe as the dementia worsened, even with the help of multiple caretakers in his case. From my understanding, his mom adjusted quickly to the care home and liked having people around her to socialize with vs being at home. And in my friend's case, he got a bit of his life back and was less stressed from knowing she was in an appropriate facility with trained staff and amenities that could tend to her needs as her condition deteriorated. |
Feel for you supa, I don’t see my parents as much anymore since moving away and my mom is turning 80 next month, she’s been nearly deaf for like 3 years now and refuses to admit it / breaks down crying and locks herself in her room if confronted with it… I told her there’s no shame and even said my friend (you) has to deal with a hearing diagnosis much much younger why not take advantage of technology and not feel isolated and not included in conversations anymore but so far I’ve failed to get her to do anything. My dad too he’s younger by 7 years but last time I saw him he was retelling things more than usual and forgetting words a lot and taking not logical steps to repairs or situations which is weird because he’s an engineer and software programmer by trade and my sister and I are afraid things might be headed in your dads direction too. |
Supa, sounds like you need a Rep 7. You don't need a Social Worker, you need a lawyer or notary to help complete the Rep 7. It gets you the medical decision making and small financial decisions. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/h...acity-planning |
I think it is best to get all three: 1. Power of Attorney to deal with legal financial stuff. 2. Representation agreement to deal with health decisions (although from experience, docs and nurses will automatically turn to next of kin for directives with or without, obviously better to have) 3. Advanced directive of DNR. For most people older than say 70, you want a DNR. It is quite an aggressive way to try and save you in the event your heart stops. Pounding on chest, ribs breaking. In most cases, if a person is past a certain age, just let the person go. Not sure if she/he can recover from a code blue recovery. |
The only person you need is PeanutButter. |

It might sound morbid, and not applicable perhaps to your mother, but connected to the third point here in DNR. Putting into writing your intent for MAID while you're still considered stable minded, and have your full faculties. Getting MAID becomes all the more difficult if you're deemed unable to make decisions on your own. My mother is 82 is wishes should could end it at this point, though with dementia that is almost impossible for her to now make that decision medically. She asks my GF all the time to get her pills from the hospital to help her end her own life, it's a miserable experience. I feel bad for her because if I was in her situation I'd want MAID as well. My sisters and I have joked about getting her fentanyl from a dealer on the DTES for her, morbid Irish humor, obviously that would never happen. |
