As of February of last year my mother had to have back surgery, nothing went according to plan is now confined to a wheelchair. Recently we spent a month in the hospital at a inpatient rehab, she was diagnosed with copd and now is on oxygen full time. I have given up on getting a job because she need 24 hour care. She also needs assistance in going to the restroom, showers, and transfers to and from chairs, beds, etc. So is there a program through any organization where caregivers can receive anything financially?
Otherwise, call your local Council on Aging and see if there are any programs where an Aide can visit your home for a couple of hours a day, to give you a break, without any charge to your Mother.
