but I cannot do it all by myself. My sister does not need personal care, but she is too weak to share every day. NO meal prepNO personal careNO weekends, and flexible hours, but mornings preferred.I had made inquiries be fore, but we had no idea we might need long-term help. Now I, the caregiver, need help.Thanks for
Social services in your county may be able to provide some in-home help if you qualify.
To be totally honest, you will be shocked at the cost of care. In your situation, the best sustainable and least complicated solution will probably be transitioning into a good AL facility where they have a continuum of care levels and accept Medicaid (which many elders eventually need to cover their medical care in a facility).
Best that you work through this now and not during a bigger health or medical crisis, like if one of you has a catastrophic fall and breaks a hip, or worse. Many elders think they can "age in place" in their homes but as they decline it becomes more and more complicated, difficult and expensive.
