My Mom isn't sick but needs someone there to do everyday things,that due to her age, she cannot do for herself. I need to be there with her for "safety" but can't just quit my job to do so.....HELP !!
Your local Area Agency on Aging - yes they are great but they can be hard to find if you don't know the name. The national Web site is n4a.org. I've asked them about having a search function with all of the local AAAs listed by zip code, but that still isn't a function. The one closest to me is Land of the Dancing Sky - lovely name but if you don't know it, it's hard to find in the phone book. I would check with your aging services people on the state level (look up your state Web site and find aging services). They should be able to help you. It's a Federal program.
try a visiting nurses association too - some of them have great programs with day care and home health aides AND if you can get your mother's doctor to write a prescription for a nurse service, insurance will cover it
