Where can I call or ask for help in Puerto Rico?

I am currently living in Puerto Rico taking care of my bedridden aunt along with my 75 year old mother. She was diagnosed with dementia and she has other health conditions as well, can I get FREE assistance to help care for her? I have lumbar and cervical problems and when she has fallen (transferring her from the bed to the wheelchair) it has taken a toll on my back! I also have carpal tunnel and I am scared this is not helpful to me or her!!!

I don't know if you can get free assistance, but in house help is readily available and much cheaper than in the States.( ask in hospitals)), usually they work on their own and not for an organization) Contact the Asociacion Puertorriquena de Parkinsons. Even if your aunt doesn't have it, they might be abke to refer you to other resources.
