[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 339051, member: 1514"] CA may have some services that other states dont have but you would have to call the dept of aging. Or call SS and ask for APS and ask them. Call the health dept and ask them. I called everyone I could think of to attempt to find someone to help me but found no one because my mom was only on medicare and they wouldnt fund an in home aide to help me. If she had needed true nursing services then they would have sent someone out but at the point we were at, she didnt. When she finally needed nursing services, she was too hard for me to handle myself and I had her put in a nursing home. Like you, I needed someone to watch her, help me bathe her, feed her sometimes, and just give me a break from time to time. As it was, it was just me, Tony and my boys who were young adults or mid teens. Can you imagine a 15 year old bathing his 70 something grandmother? [/QUOTE]
