I work full time in NYC so I am gone from 7-7 weekdays. All my “free” time is now spent caring for her. We were supposed to get an aide from Evercare but they can’t find one and said there is a shortage of aides in the area. We have a part time aide that I pay for and I can’t afford to pay a full time aide. I don’t feel equipped emotionally or physically to take this on as my mother is not really mobile. I need some support.
Are you living in her home or yours?
Is there the ability to move her, say, to Assisted Living, if her needs warrant that level of support?
What are your mother's infirmities, aside from lack of mobility?
Is there Adult Day Care in the area?
I'm sorry to ask so many questions!, But more information will get you better support.
I am going to try and change to Fidelis because my mom's part time aide, that I pay for, has it for her husband and they are very happy with them.
It's very frustrating because we have done everything we can but Evercare let us down.
Thank you for answering me. I appreciate it.
