Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
This is like the requests here wanting volunteer home or car repairs.
Apparently there’s some ai prompting seniors to come here for help. The truth is that there’s probably less enthusiasm for changing mom’s depends for free than there is for getting someone to dismantle and snake your toilet. These are not tasks people like to volunteer for.
A half day is four hours which is usually a caregiver minimum on a regular basis. 25 an hour is a reasonable rate. Spend 100 a week so you can have your you time.
Try to see if you qualify for Hospice care. Here in Texas, Hospice pays for 5 nights and 6 days at no cost to you. They also provide numerous services for you. It’s a wonderful program.
Contact people you know and just ask if they might know anyone that does that. If you just need someone to sit with your loved one that might provide minimal services, I am sure you can find someone. I have 2 ladies that sit with my wife, one oin Tuesdays and the other on Fridays. They are just looking for some extra income. Most of the commercial care agencies will tack on extra services just to make a profit. I got my ladies just for the asking. Try it.
Just read your header again. Are you writing in the 3rd party?
You being eligible for Medicaid will not get you respite care for your mother. Your mother needs to be eligible to get in home help. If she has no assets over 2k and under the monthly limit allowed in your state for income (this would be Social Security and pension), she maybe able to get an aide. You use Moms money for an aide, not yours.
For one half a day? Are you mostly needing a driver? If so I would count on Uber, Lyft, Taxi for your area, or put an add in the local NextDoor app. You might try care.com as well. I wish you best luck in finding someone reliable.
You could put a request in at church or a senior center for a reliable person to help a few days a week. There's retired people who are willing to work a few hours a week. Agencies are expensive where many charge $25 an hour plus membership fees.
Thanks I will contact a church in my area.. The church that I have membership is miles 37 Miles from me .therefore I have been zooming for 5yrs. I'm uncomfortable asking someone to drive to my house.
I found someone through Hospice. The social workers had a list. These are usually non-medically trained ladies who could use the money. They are in high demand if they are really good. The first one that was suggested was still with her latest patient, but she recommended another lady. It was $160 per night, all out of pocket.
Medicare pays for in home hospice. Hospice is extra help if your mother has a qualifying diagnosis. Hospice does not mean your mother is going to pass away soon. The doctor has to give a "6 month or less" prognosis for insurance purpose. Don't let that scare you. They aren't God. But hospice can get extra help in the home for your Mother and help give you a break. They can also help find respite care for you.
