Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book “Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories.” Her sites, www.mindingourelders.com and www.mindingoureldersblogs

 

You need to call your county adult social services and start getting her on Medicaid. Then they will take over. Get ready to dig out financial information. Good luck. If she has not resources, it won't be too bad.
