Welcome to the forum. You found a good one, but I'm sorry you need to be here.
In another thread you posted "I just placed DH in respite care on May 16th of this year....the Dr wants me to place him somewhere permanent for ongoing care.. I do not want to because of my finances...and yet caring for him at home is growing more difficult.. I feel very conflicted....." . Have you consulted with a CELA (certified elder law attorney)? If not, I highly recommend you do that ASAP. The first visit is often free of charge, and you can verify that when calling for an appointment. After the first meeting, you will know what the cost will be for their services, and you will know how they can help you. You will likely be surprised at how much they can do for you, and why you should use their services, even if you don't think you can afford it. Please make the appointment.
