You would need to check your State Medicaid office as every State has different programs, different rules and regulations. If possible, chances are it wouldn't be a Nurse but an Aide but only for a few hours.

Have you considered a nursing home, for a temporary stay? I am all for you getting a break, because 1/3 of the time, the patient out lives the care taker.

cattgoodness, PACE Centers must meet State and Federal safety requirements, thus can only handle a certain number of people at one time. Waiting lists are not uncommon.

cattgoodness, sorry the adult day care is filled and you need to wait for an opening. Why would your husband die if he can't get in?

As for stress, you might want to be more positive when around your husband... sounds like he is mimicking your reactions.

Catgoodness, your husband sounds like he needs respite care, not a simple adult day care. He has many many health issues, several all by themselves which are too difficult for adult day care. He needs to be in hospice,.whether at home, or in a dedicated hospice facility. Not day care.

Well he has been assessed by pace and up to the start dates they say he is perfect they said he had a space and if after he was in he got worst they could help in the home yet they are starting neither home or day care in there program my feeling isthey are not happy with just medicaid they want either income or a second coverage either way they should just spit it out and stop betting around the bush real altou well meaning I had other vns over and they agreed unless he got into pace he would no TT make it once the mind brakes the body will lose its fight
