in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Was just trying to find a cheaper but still good daycare for DW so I googled and found some prospective locations. I stopped by and spoke with the administrator, filled out some paperwork. I was thinking private pay and then I got a call from Senior Affairs. They asked some very basic financial questions and asked if I was interested in three days a week or four for daycare. Senior Affairs came by the house, did an assessment and said the city will pay for the daycare as well as some safety modifications to the bathrooms. Wow!

For my prospective location there doesn't seem to be a waiting list. Some other locations the wait list has been nearly a year.

    That is wonderful news for you. After all the taxes you have paid it is great to get help back.
