I'm 75 years old, I live with my brother who is 74 years old. He is on Social Security Disability, that pays $2,020.00 per month. He needs more care than I can give him. I don't know where to turn for help.

You don't mention what type of care he needs. If he were to be placed in a home, where would that leave you?

I would call your Adult protection services telling them brother needs help. They will evaluate his situation and get him help. You just make sure they understand, you are not an option.

I too am 75 and the last thing I would do is care for anyone not my husband. One thing about being 75, the younger generation looks at us as elderly. Use this to your advantage, I am too old to care for my brother.

The Primary Care Physician can help you with services for medical needs like an aide if he qualifies. Also, your state has a Department of Aging Services. Google that with your State to find the number. Also, each state county has a Mediciad Department that can also help.

Good luck.
