[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 626917, member: 1514"] Confused, you most certainly can post anything you want here. That is what this site is for. We are a soft place to land so you can vent, ask for info, do whatever you need to do. I did have to take care of my elderly mother while my boys were still in their teens. She had alzheimer's and it was one of the most difficult times in my life. There is nothing harder than being a part of the sandwich generation. I understand how it is almost impossible to get help with caring for your relative because they simply dont qualify. Heck, now my kids are the sandwich generation and try to help take care of me because I have a hard time taking care of myself and I cant get any help! Its crazy. I dont have a clue about how to get doctor's to do anything they dont want to do. I have always been forced to just jump through whatever hoops they decide to place in my way. Arguing with them didnt do me any good. The only thing I can think of that may help would be to contact a rather large church in your area and see if their ladies auxiliary would be willing to help provide meals for your grandfather...or even your father. Or maybe Meals on Wheels if you have it in your area. We dont have that here. One other place you could check is your local Council on Aging. It may be called something different where you are but it should be close. If you cant find that call social services Adult Protective Services and ask them what that agency is called. Good luck.
