[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad has Parkinson’s. What are the financial resources available? Why did you bring up the VA? Does he have some sort of benefits? I would first try to bring in at home caregivers if you can afford it. He may not get very good care at rehab. Plus he will likely get COVID. I have four relatives who got COVID in rehab and none of them were able to get paxlovid in time. The rehab doctors weren’t able to prescribe it. They could give him sedating medicine that could make it hard for him to swallow. It could lead to the end. Could you take FMLA?[/quote] Two agencies: home instead and senior helpers. I don’t know how good they are in your area as they differ from place to place. [/quote]
