[quote=Anonymous]I’m here to agree to the suggestions of hiring a supportive home health aide. We were at my mother’s side during her last six months with cancer, and a nurse recommended to us through my mom’s yoga group was such a tremendous help. We are India, and so is she, so there was a cultural aptitude she immediately understood (though different religions. For us, the made no difference.) she called my parents uncle and aunty, and quickly became a part of our family. We still all keep in touch 2 years after my mom passed, though my other parent has moved back to India. Though he lives with my brother and aunt, he also has a helper, who is more of anall around aide than a nurse, who brings him tea, meals, shoes, answers the door, picks up household items from the market, gets laundry and itoning done , etc. and is just around at all times. This has been a godsend since my father has mobility issues he to a brain condition. This man has also become a trusted member of our family, and it is because of him my father can live at home, which is his wish. In our culture, there is a big resistance to elder care facilities for our parents.[/quote]
