On one visit Bill's mom related an issue she was having with a staff member who was threatening her over small things. Bill mentioned it to the floor supervisor who immediately came to the employee's defense. The supervisor chalked it up to the dementia and an active imagination.
When you are looking for accommodation for your loved family member, the costs take second place, but even then you should be aware of what you will have to spend. If you are looking for only basic accommodation and needs, then you should look at a monthly bill of less than $2,000. However, if there are special needs to be meant, then the costs could be higher.
They didn't buy a similar policy for April's father, because he was a World War II veteran. In those days veterans knew that they could live out their days in a V. A. nursing home should the need arise. As the years went by, the couple remained in relatively good health. When a letter from the V. A. arrived years later, he didn't understand exactly what it said and didn't realize that the once-promised nursing home benefits for veterans had drastically changed.
Unfortunately, it's far from easy to get someone who fulfills these criteria. Part of the problem is that in-home care giving is typically very poorly paid. On the one hand, that's what makes it a viable option for families that can't realistically pay a lot for the service. On the other hand, "you get what you pay for," and there are a lot of people in this line of work who really aren't ideal for the job.
The next evening, a chiropractor/nutritionist called me out of the blue after no contact for the previous twelve years! She asked me how I was doing. I tearfully explained my situation.
The process of choosing an assisted living facility is one about which I wrote. There are things that have to be done before your loved one moves - even if it is within the state.
"I was speechless and appalled when he told me they were letting me go after only about four months," she remembers. It seems construction was running behind, and the new facility wasn't ready yet. Since there were no residents to plan activities for, keeping her on would be pointless.
While it's certainly possible to find an individual who fits the above factors well, it's typically easier to fulfill the necessary criteria by going through an agency. A reputable agency will have done background checks (not that you won't still want to do some follow-up and check references yourself). They will have different people suitable for different situations. They'll have back-up caregivers available to cover the days when your primary caregiver cannot come.
