Thank you, Olga! I appreciate it.

We sure do. 🙂

Thanks goodness you have your sister in your corner. We love bulldogs. 🙂

There is a county agency on aging (thanks, Cathy — the link reminded me of it) that helps with that sort of thing.

My sister is our secret weapon. She has quite a bit of experience handling elder law, including dealing with Medicaid and placing people in Pa-based veteran’s homes. She’s like a bulldog when she sniffs injustice (hence, the lawyer part), so I have no doubt she’ll be on this and sort it.

We’re lucky in that regard. Imagine what it’s like for people who have no one and believe what they’re told?

I’m just glad it sounds like your dad will get to go home once he’s a but stronger.

You’re probably already doing it, but keep a record – photographic, if possible – of every little thing like that and hold them accountable.

Oh, and see if a local church or senior center has volunteers or people who can help navigate social service programs/qualifications.

I’ve always told my siblings if they ever have to choose to pull the plug on me, unless there’s really great odds of a full recovery: Pull the darn plug.

And thank goodness for that! Hopefully, you won’t for a very long time, Lori.

Cross those fingers tight, Cathy. We’re hoping so, too. Dad doesn’t qualify for hospice yet (amen), but he sure needs help with everything.

Keeping my fingers crossed, Lori. Getting help for your mom is a big one. When we got hospice for my dad, I said I only wished we gotten it sooner. Not for Dad but for Mom.
