[quote=Anonymous]Also, small group homes/ALFs may be more affordable than your standard nursing home. There are organizations that help place people, like A Place for Mom. One more thing about home care... when they tell you your Dad needs 24/7 care, that doesn't necessarily mean he needs a private hire caregiver 24/7. ask yourself what part of the care can your mom do and what can't she? The parts of the care that she can't, when would he need help with those things? Could you do just 8 hrs/day? 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening? Live-in care is cheaper than paying for 2, 12 hour shifts. A companion may work over a CNA. This is why it would be helpful to talk through with a professional what his care would look like at home and what community resources are out there to help. [/quote]
