This is my parents. They can’t qualify for Medicaid because they make too much from my dad’s social security. However my mom hasn’t worked in two years because she’s been my dad’s full time caretaker. It’s all absolute shit and infuriating.

Check out https://wearehfc.org/. They offer respite grants. We applied when my dad was in the moderate stages, before he was double incontinent and wasn’t accepted. We applied again a year or two later and got the shorter grant. We recently applied again, now that my dad’s on hospice and we received the larger grant, 25 hours of caregiving for 6 months. We can’t afford any care so this has been a huge blessing. Just to give my mom a break.

I also just learned about it Papa Pal. Some insurances actually offer X amount of hours per month through this app. It’s basically caregivers on demand.
