Utilizing fmla leave

Maxzine said:

I want to care for a parent who is currently in a rehab hospital. Her home is on the 3rd floor. I am currently living with her too, if it matters. When parent gets discharged she will be unable to go up stairs and will not be able to utilize her apartment. I want to start the moving process…boxing items up, etc. prior to her discharge because she will need me physically with her after discharge to assist with adl's. She and I will be staying at a family members until I find a permanent residence for her to live in…but like I said, I will be caring for her. My question is, is getting parents items boxed up and ready to move considered "caring for" them and can I use fmla for this purpose? Thank you.

What response did you get when you asked your employer for unpaid FMLA leave for the stated purpose?

I am admittedly a little rusty on FMLA since it's managed in a different area of my department, but I would agree with your employer.
