My parents live in Washington state and have part-time caregivers coming in. My dad is 8 years younger than my mom, but you can tell that taking all of it on is wearing him down. I live in Tennessee and can't move back, I just want to make sure they have someone there full-time that can help. He's got his own health issues, too. They're on Medicare so it should be covered right?
Or is it more about reducing risk & fatigue on your Father?
Are there other ways to achieve that?
Your father's best bet is to sit down with a certified Elder Care Attorney for guidance and advice on the best way to proceed here. No joke. The EC atty can guide him on Medicaid requirements also, which is very helpful.
Good luck!
