First get your mother on the "Waiver" list in your state. The HBCS Waiver.. most states have them except for 1 or 2.
We caregivers (mostly women I assume) need to unite and demand rights in this country!! (Otherwise you will end up like me.) Saving the state 20 years of caregiving dollars and joining the poverty class as a 7 dollar an hour health care worker with a masters degree in something else. Putting our parents in a nursing should be the extreme exception. The good old USA let the men of our world the last 50 years shovel their parents into nursing homes without a care in the world. This in not the law of human nature. Somehow we need to get it changed in this country. Far to many women (even incredibly smart women) are becoming impoverished and the brothers, men and states are balancing their budgets on our backs.
