A difficulté road to follow but in the long run, rewarding as you can sit back and say..."I provided my loved one with the best possible care"
Yep & much like you (you did too)
& I don't look for any credit either

you do what you need to do, you do what's right
what's right for the person (usually a loved one or relative)
& I do not bitch & moan about it,

this isn't my 1st rodeo either

:thumbsup:

:thankyou: Ski

Any caregivers here, elderly parents, spouse?
I mean actual caregivers that is.
Dealing with social services, getting outside help, medicare, power of attorney, that sought of thing.
Its a simple non controversial thread. No complaining, no putting personal stories.
Some members have to deal with elderly parents or unfortunately spouses with serious illness.
There are a lot of issues's that need to be dealt with and all I was asking was about how any experience some folks had
Other than that, thats all I can say
 
I've done hospice twice, once for my aunt for four months and my sister in law for three years. For my sister in law we tried to get her on disability, they said that she hadn't worked in ten years so she wasn't eligible. They were no help till she was actually deemed in her final days, then it was considered hospice.
 
This may not be exactly on topic but any of us married a caregivers. We look out for each other and do what needs to be done. Its just part of the game. One needs to enjoy and cherish the good. It will get you threw the times when all goes to *ell.

AMEN TO THAT..... Went through old pictures before, enjoy it when things are good
 
Was ,took care of a old man from my local Mopar club ! He passed a few years back . His family wanted nothing to do with him . But boy when he died did they come out of wood work trying to get his house and cars .
It takes a special person to care for someone,it's not easy!
 
We took care of my wife’s mother for 3 years (wife really did)
We moved her into our place to keep her out of nursing homes.
She did spend the last three weeks of her life in a nursing home in a hospice type situation.

It’s tough, but you do what you have to for your family.

You are a good man Steve!
Hang in there brother.
