My mom is 86 and she is a diabetic with early stage Parkinson's disease. She has heart and kidney problems and just underwent pacemaker surgery. She lives with my dad (86) and we need some help during the day - from 9 to 5. Help with sitting, getting up and walking. They live in California (Campbell) and are on Medicare. She can eat on her own. Appreciate any help.
I would start by contacting the Council on Aging Silicon Valley. They will have all the resources you need to get started. They will know what programs are available in Santa Clara county. Good luck!
Another option is to see if your Mom can be accepted through Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. Depending on your State programs, the State may offer an Aide to visit the house for a few hours a week.
It is my understanding that California has some excellent programs for home care. Hopefully a caregiver here on the forum will see your post and give you more information.
