[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad got much better care at home than in a nursing home where he was left in his own waste often and shared “PT” daily with 6-10 other patients and one therapist.  At home, he had 1-1 PT, 1-1 OT,  visiting nurse, home health aide, all paid for by Insurance and Medicare while we waited for Medicaid to kick in.  I was able to live at home with him and I know we were lucky that he could be at home unattended while I ran errands and such.  For us, though, home was a much better option.
For my mom with dementia, full time nursing home was all we could do.  I couldn’t cope with being with her that much.  Luckily she believed it was best, too.[/quote]

What would you have done if you needed to work FT outside of the home?[/quote] We solved that issue by having my father move in with me and then we just had to cover days.  He moved into DH and my bedroom and we moved into one of our son's bedrooms and he moved to the basement (his choice- he could have shared with his brother). [/quote]
