Caregiver GOOD NEWS? in Springhill, LA

[Guest guest]

TODAY the Council on Aging Rep announced that I can be the recipient of 4

hours every other week respite care by screened, literate, supervised

untrained aide for only $12.00 per visit.

IE, willin' and the creek don't rise-- Near FREEBIES help for caregivers?

Too astounded to inquire where the money comes from. Too dubious to say

yes--and just what can an untrained sitter do? Even the weekly nurses

couldn't care for Jan for four consecutive hours without days of training.

Some nurses I'd not trust to care for Jan period. May be that suction

machine capability would allow an in house " normal " mealtime or bath

episode.

Breakthrough regardless. An admirable beginning program for worn out old

homebound caregivers and more logical than " couples " quarters in Medicare

facilities. Rejoice??? Letch know later.

LA Louise considering the old saw about things that seem too good to be

true usually aren't...especially when government is involved.
