The cost of care is astoundingly high. My time has come to get some help with those costs. Fingers crossed.
It would be unrealistic for me to try to meet Burt’s needs without the aid of professional aides.
I know Burt’s needs will only increase. It’s a scary proposition.
Medicaid is an option for some of us. I suggest you get decent legal assistance when looking as this becomes a part of your reality.
Financial assistance is one of the needs we have when caregiving. Support groups contribute hugely to my social safety net.
I could not meet any of the daily challenges without a veritable and often virtual village.
Since support has gone to Zoom and message boards, it’s more helpful than ever. I belong to many groups (most virtual), all of them very helpful.
Among those groups offering assistance to the family caregiver are CaringKind.
It’s their virtual walk that Burt and I will take on October 19th.
