[quote=Anonymous]Given how much your FIL has declined, it's possible that he might be eligible for hospice support in their home. Might be worth discussing with his provider. While this won't solve all their caregiver needs, it will mean allot of extra support (nursing visit at least once a week, a CNA to come in and bathe/change linens a couple of times per week, social work support for your MIL, etc). A hospice team might be able to adjust his meds (and recommend some new ones) to help him be more calm and less combative. Sadly, I'm not surprised to hear about the Medicaid aide no-shows. Not typically the cream of the crop that work as CNAs for Medicaid. Good luck--this sounds like a challenging situation.[/quote]
