My mother-in-law has been with us over two years. It is a financial burden. I've tried different organizations for help. We do receive from the Alzheimer's Asso $500.00 worth of respite care. Her other son is her HCPO. He also receives her SS check. The money would help a lot with her care. My husband and I haven't said anything about the money but we sure could use it. I feel like I'm complaining but I don't mean to come across that. I have come to really love her. She puts a smile on my face every day. My son died. If it wasn't for her and her smile I wouldn't have survived my loss.

My momma lives with me. She has for the last 20 years. She has medical & medicare. What I need is some one to stay with her for 7 hours while I'm at work. I work at school so when I'm off I would not need not one to stay with her. What can you do to help me? The person I had sitting with her quit on me while she was in the hospital. I can't work and wait for someone to get there or not even show up.
